LUCKNOW: If plans of the Lucknow Municipal Corporation (LMC) work out, visitors to some city areas will be able to park their vehicles free in the multi-level parking lots for a certain time.
To curb the rapidly increasing vehicular population in the city, the Delhi government is mulling a number of measures, including hefty hike in parking fees, introduction of congestion charges for entering in specific areas and improving the public transport system.
The government has already taken an in-principle decision to increase parking fees on the recommendation of the Environment Pollution Control Authority (EPCA) and the high court-appointed Special Task Force.
The North Municipal Corporation will build three new multilevel underground parking lots in the Walled City area, which has some of the most congested and busiest markets in the Capital.
Uniform parking rates across Delhi and higher charges for surface parking as against multi-level parking are some of the suggestions that have been cleared “in-principle” by all stakeholders at a m
JAIPUR: With number of vehicles increasing manifold and parking areas becoming a major problem, the state government is planning to draw a parking policy for the city.
The policy will be drawn taking cue from the model parking policy of the Union government. In this regard, a meeting chaired by principal secretary (urban development and housing) G S Sandhu was held to discuss on the issues proposed for parking policies. Officials of traffic department, Jaipur Development Authority (JDA) and Jaipur Municipal Corporation (JMC) were also present in the meeting.

The Environmental Pollution (Prevention & Control) Authority (EPCA) presentation on a new parking policy for Delhi before the Lieutenant-Governor on Thursday argued that the rate of parking for surface parking should be kept higher than multi-level parking facilities.
Other suggestions related to pricing made by Ms. Sunita Narain and Mr. Bhure Lal at the meeting on behalf of EPCA were to keep parking rates variable based on peak and non-peak hours, number of hours parked, and different categories of lands and colonies.
Aims to discourage parking on roads, use of private vehicles
The Capital looks all set to have a new parking policy meant to regulate parking on the roads while placing a restraint on use of public space by private vehicles, thus creating an incentive to use public transport. A series of suggestions made at a meeting called by Lieutenant-Governor Tejendra Khanna on Thursday to address the city’s parking woes include revision of parking fees to make parking on roads more expensive than parking at street-level, or in underground and multi-storey parking lots.
