No. Gdynia has no Strefa Czystego Transportu in force. The power exists — article 39 of the 2018 electromobility act lets a municipality restrict entry to a built-up area — but article 40 makes the zone conditional on a city council resolution, and article 39(5) on road signs marking the boundary. Gdynia has neither, so every vehicle drives in freely and no emission fine can be issued.

Gdynia and the clean transport zone rules
A Polish clean transport zone is not a policy intention, it is a local act. Article 40 of the electromobility act states that the zone is established by resolution of the city council and that the resolution constitutes an act of local law; article 39(5) requires the boundary to be signposted (Dz.U. 2018 poz. 317). Until those exist, there is nothing to comply with.
Gdynia has not adopted such a resolution, and the same is true of neighbouring Gdańsk, so the absence of a zone in the Tricity is not a quirk of one city.
Who can enter
Every vehicle, of any age, fuel or Euro class. No exemption list is needed where there is no restriction.
Penalties
None on emission grounds. If you come across a specific fine amount attributed to Gdynia, check where the figure came from before paying anything: there is no local act here that would produce one. Parking charges, speed limits and bus-lane rules are separate matters and continue to apply.
Practical notes
- No need to check your car’s Euro class for a trip to Gdynia
- A rental car of any age enters without additional verification on emission grounds
- Travelling on to Warsaw? That city does operate a zone - check it on its own terms
