Vehicles driven to transfer people holding a parking card for people with reduced mobility may also do so provided they are registered in the ‘Madrid Low Emissions Zone’ access management system and display the respective parking card for people with reduced mobility. These can request access to Madrid ZBE.
As of 2025
While all these exceptions are valid until 2024, the following year the Sustainable Mobility Ordinance quite hardens the requirements to access the municipality with a vehicle with an ‘A’ environmental label.
Only those in possession of a parking card for people with reduced mobility, those who have been recognized as ‘historical’, emergency vehicles (fire fighting) and the Armed Forces may do so.
Therefore, even residents with this type of vehicle will not be able to access it.
