A congestion charge and other measures to curb carbon emissions in Norwich are to be put to a public consultation.
The Transport for Norwich joint committee discussed the idea as part of a transport strategy for the city.
Other suggestions included workplace parking levies and banning certain vehicles from the city centre.
Lib Dem county councillor Brian Watkin stressed the need for balance between achieving the zero-carbon target and economic growth.
“We’ve got to try to move away from single-car occupancy, particularly at peak hour times,” he said.
“That will involve behavioural change and it will only happen if public transport is good, frequent and reliable.”
