The vibrant city of Mumbai, home to over 12 Million people, is the financial capital of the country. In order to improve the quality of life, Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) wishes to improve the basic infrastructure.The city has seen a significant increase in the private vehicles over last few years. It has become increasingly difficult for citizens to find public parking places while they are on the move. In order to ease the parking woes of the citizens, MCGM proposes to adopt and implement a new parking policy. The new parking policy elaborates on-street parking (residential parking, parking near schools, and parking for tourist places) and off-street parking. Moreover, MCGM also envisages web based parking to be implemented and issue receipts using hand held devices.

As a pilot project, it is proposed to implement the parking policy in ‘A’ ward after receiving the necessary approvals.

Suggestions are invited from the public at large for improvement of the proposed policy.

The draft policy can be seen here: https://mygov.in/frontendgeneral/pdf/parking-policy-20122014.pdf

Most Important : IMPROVE PUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEM IF YOU CANNOT DO THE ABOVE THEN READ BELOW Make all road side's (2,3,4 lane roads) as public parking. Charge anything less than Rs.30 per day / hour. As Rs30 / day gets around Rs.900. It would seem less for Upper middle class. But for lower middle class people its an additional burden on the pocket. Make a monthly pass system, use existing BEST / Raily Smart Cards. Evry commercial blding shld hv its own parking facility with low charges

In any city you can see old vehicles with dust, mostly near to the service centers. City like Mumbai should not give permit for a private vehicle older than 10 yrs and vehicle used as Taxi more than 7yrs. Improving public transport will encourage people not to buy more vehicles for each person in the family

I suggested same thing on TRAIN TRACKS between station. We donot want automation but manual lift taking car above and parking it will provide employment also. Let everything privatised and only space provided over tracks. This constructions can be without concrete and removable if needed in future. http://www.jiglift.com/ ONLY WILLPOWER OF LEADERS NEEDED EVERYTHING ELSE IS FREE AND AVAILABLE

We should first analyse the problem that why the problem of parking is arising. The answer is -One individual is coming in one big car to his office, keeps another at home and sometimes a fleet of cars for him. Now regarding solution there can be two approaches; (i) To create more parking facilities( may be multilayer or Underground etc. (ii) To reduce the number of vehicles by proper policies like: a. One person -one car only b. Efficient & mandatory Public transport c. Use of two wheelers

Make multilevel parking lots near vacant ground in every locality or street in residential areas this would be a good facility for residents and lot of parking problems will be solved.

We need Multilayer parking wherever possible Parking under flyovers Concessions (in property tax or other taxes) can be provided to buildings - residential or commercial - who allow parking for non residents. Web based registration of parking place but it should be open only for 15 minutes after the time asked for (eg if booked from 9:30 AM, should be occupied by 9:45 AM else it is open for all). Use RFID tags for charging the person similar to proposed system for toll collection.

Before talking about parking there has to be a policy on buying Cars... In Japan until one has a proper parking place he cannot purchase a car.... the size of the cars increasing day by day is a huge burden on the roads and the existing infrastructure... loans on cars at concessional rates should be discontinued....surprising car loans in this country are cheaper than the education loans, when we do not have proper infrastructure in place....

Why dont we get multiple parking facility so that in place of one care we can park 2 cars. Wherever the parking place is available put up multiple parking system. It will solve some problem. Increase public transport so that public will automatically take on public transport instead of private cars. Increasing public transport system is the only way to get rid of parking and traffic problems.
