Zero emission policy
One of the main issues of the ZTM policy is an environmental protection of the public transport benefits. Owing to the modifications, ZTM Lublin has reached 30 % level of zero emission vehicles and the number will have increased up to 50% by 2021. At that time, there will be 70 electric buses and 150 trolley buses.

In mid-2018, blinkee.city started to offer a pay-by-the-minute sharing service of 38 powered seated scooters. At the end of 2018, the carsharing system, PANEK, began to operate in Lublin (the second city after Warsaw) with a fleet of 100 hybrid vehicles. In 2019 Volt and blinkee.city broadened their offering by introducing powered seated scooters. Now, the total number of these vehicles reached around 400.
