People Power has set out ideas that it believed would generate just as much income for the new transport strategy as Environment's plans, but without 'dictating an aggressive' tax on islanders.
Campaigner K'han Holden said the majority of suggestions stemmed directly from the public as an alternative to what is proposed by the department and now Treasury and Resources.
Instead of having a width and emissions tax, the law for which is up for debate next week, the pressure group has proposed a charge of £100 to register any vehicle up to the value of £10,000 and 1% thereafter.
'Those that can afford more can help contribute more,' Mr Holden said.
The transport strategy, passed in May, aims to introduce paid parking at 60p per hour, which People Power said, over eight hours, five days a week, would cost £1,248 a year per vehicle. As an alternative it has suggested the introduction of an annual parking clock, with a different style and colour each year, at a cost of £26 for drivers.
