Knesset Gives Cities More Power To Fight Air Pollution
(IsraelNN.com) The Knesset Monday night approved an amendment to existing legislation in order to give more authority to municipalities to fight air pollution. Cities now will be able to close streets at certain hours and limit the number of vehicle on roads in order to cut pollution.
Violators may be fined, but each city's plan will require the approval of the Ministry of Transportation. Income from the fines will be used to improve the quality of air by building and maintaining bicycle routes and subsidizing bus travel.
