The government is being urged to extend a scrappage scheme to help around 1.5 million people in the home counties.
The Lib Dems looked at the data which covered 10 counties - Bedfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Essex, Kent, Hampshire, Hertfordshire, Surrey, East Sussex and West Sussex.
Currently, commuters driving in and out of Greater London do not have access to the mayor's £110m scrappage scheme, which offers grants of £2,000 to people on benefits to help them give up their car. "I think it is a betrayal of London and the commuter belt by the government not to help drivers with ULEZ," he added.
The Department of Transport said: "Transport is devolved, the ULEZ issue would be one for TfL to respond to.The Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, which has been in charge of allocating money for scrappage schemes in other parts of the country, has been contacted for comment.Surrey County Council is one of the five Conservative-run authorities which is seeking a judicial review of the ULEZ expansion plan.
