Riyadh Municipality has unveiled the initial phase of the Riyadh public parking project that is aimed at improving the quality of life by streamlining parking facilities, reducing cases of illegal parking, and facilitating the flow of traffic, a report said.

The first phase involves establishing and managing more than 24,000 parking spots on streets, as well as managing over 140,000 parking spots in residential neighbourhoods, Saudi Press Agency (SPA) said.

Twelve districts, including Al-Wurood, Al-Rahmaniyah, western Al-Olaya, Al-Morouj, King Fahd, and Al-Sulaymaniyah, as well as four southern districts, will be covered in this phase.

The project also seeks to revitalise local economies by encouraging commercial activity near public parking areas by providing convenient parking solutions.

The project is the result of a partnership between Remat Al-Riyadh Development Company, the municipality's development arm, and solutions by stc, a leading digital transformation company.

This partnership will oversee the establishment, management, operation, and maintenance of public parking lots in Riyadh.

The project aligns with the Riyadh Municipality's commitment to supporting the private sector and achieving the goals of Vision 2030.
