The Capital Development Authority (CDA) administration is taking concrete and effective measures for car parking in the city of Islamabad, especially in the business centers to ensure the elimination of problems like traffic jams in the city of Islamabad along with the promotion of the economy.
In this regard, the Capital Development Authority (CDA) on Monday signed an agreement with M/S AJCL to digitize parking facilities in Islamabad on a revenue-sharing basis. An important milestone has been crossed while implementing and this decision has also been ratified in the 9th meeting of the CDA Board on October 5, 2023.
According to the details, under this agreement, the installation of the latest parking equipment and the latest parking management system will be introduced in all car parking lots of Islamabad city. Similarly in this project, the implementation of automatic and smart parking systems at all parking sites in Islamabad is also included.
It should be noted that in the bidding process, eight firms submitted technical and financial proposals till the last date of November 30, 2023, and the financial bids were opened transparently on January 9, 2024. In which M/S AJCL was declared as the successful bidder with a 75 percent revenue share. That is 25 percent of the revenue received for parking will be given to M/S AJCL while 75 percent of the revenue will be given to CDA.
With the modern and smart parking system, not only the residents of Islamabad will get rid of problems like traffic jams, but there are also strong possibilities of boosting the economy with this good initiative.
Good news to know that finally CDA has made up it’s mind to charge the motorists in the capital. However, the test of pudding would be in eating.
There is a pressing need to have a dedicated (fenced lane) for unruly motorists, which is a serious hazard to all other motorists.
A coordinated effort may achieve desired results only if the violators are booked at the spot by the traffic police officer and the entire system should be transparent without any exception.
I recently visited Toronto and found that the Highway Police have introduced punitive policing by imposing heavy fines for $10000/, yes ten thousand dollar.regfs
Yes good initiatives
We already have good parking space, Yasmeen garden parking, F-9 park parking areas, Rawal lake, and GREEN bus station Barakhu. Just give secure and update record keeping parking.
From there shuttle service
Forget parking first control underage car drivers. Best place to catch these people is McDonald’s in Islamabad, I saw a boy less then 15 driving v8. What a shame 😞
