LASG Adopts Technological Process For Collection Of Parking Fees

Lagos State Parking Authority (LASPA) in partnership with ARCA Payment Ltd has developed a parking payment application that will enhance coordinated parking operations between the authority and public.

Revealing this development at a partnership meeting between the Lagos State Parking Authority and ARCA Payment Ltd., the General Manager of LASPA, Mrs. Adebisi Adelabu stated that the partnership is to improve the overall parking system by ensuring a seamless transaction process for permits, registration, enquiry among others.

According to her, this is a commitment towards integrating technological solutions into the Authority’s parking management system, which will provide a user-friendly system whilst building an accurate database to manage parking proceedings for the state.

Adelabu noted that the authority has adopted innovative ways in providing lasting solutions to parking challenges for a safe and secured environment, adding that the ultimate aim is to give Lagosians the best and most suitable parking experience.

She explained that the initiative guarantees a stress-free process for end users of the authority’s services, emphasising its unique effects on reconciliation and revenue assurance for the government.

The General Manager emphasized that the authority has been committed towards supporting various organizations and business entities to identify and proffer long-term solutions to their parking challenges as it has observed that most organizations operating in state lack adequate parking space, which contributes to indiscriminate parking.

While describing the various interventions introduced to reduce indiscriminate parking across the state, she averred that the government has commenced the installation of signage and lane markings in phases across the state to guide motorists and pedestrians on available parking lots.

Adelabu urged the public to support the authority’s efforts towards improving the parking system of the state noting that enforcement of parking regulations has significantly reduced road mishaps and traffic congestion across the metropolis.
