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

Increased parking spaces -> Increased traffic -> More pollution. To retain the beauty of Mumbai, I would suggest that increasing the public transportation and creating awareness among people to use the public transport should indirectly solve the issue public parking spaces. More people on public transport -> Less cars on the road -> Sufficient Parking spots. Improve the condition and availability of public transport. Thank you.

Real time parking App showing potential parking spaces. Marking of No Parking Zones, not just small areas. Egs., around CST station. Demarcated no car zones served with multi seater electric satellite cars. Large parking bays just before such no car zones. Paid parking at electronic car lifts by the side of roads. Free parking for half hour (will make people leave with their car in half hour). Boldly marked parking areas. Directions to nearest parking area at ATMs, signals, commercial spaces.

Each State Govt should have their own Parking Database-Record of how many on-street or off-street parking spaces exist. An inventory of spaces enables Municipalities to accurately review parking supplies in order to meet current & future demands, along with this We need to plan for Advanced Parking Management Systems which gives us Real Time Parking information to increase the efficiency & turnover of parking spots by using Technology. Along with ths enforcement of strict Parking laws. Jai Hind

Multilevel storey paid parking in all cities including Mumbai should be constructed.No parking on roads .Indians follow all rules of parking while abroad. Should be enforced at home too.All malls and shopping centres should have underground parking. Metrorails should run close to malls and shopping centres.It will encourage public transport.

...freelancers fining parked cars and bikes would be a great way to potentially not only clear the streets but also raise significant funds? Thank you Prime Minister Modi and to your cabinet for all that you do.

...spur tax revenues from parking fines if the rules and signs are clear. We could just have a bunch of guys patrolling the streets all day long with an electronic parking meter that prints tickets and takes photos for evidence etc? Additionally, use surveillance cameras to fine those running traffic lights, making illegal turns etc? Perhaps this would be a lot at once but given the volume of private cars around the city, I think cameras, and an army of civilian or state employees or.....
