Islamabad’s first-ever modern digital parking plaza in Blue Area has officially become fully operational, providing parking capacity for more than 1,200 vehicles with round-the-clock services.
According to the CDA, the plaza will remain operational around the clock throughout the week. Parking will initially be free for a few days, after which motorists will be charged Rs100 per car and Rs50 per motorcycle.
The first 20 minutes of parking will remain free.The authority said a digital parking management and monitoring system has been installed to regulate vehicle entry and exit and improve security.
Digital receipts will be issued to motorists, and cashless and online payment options will also be available. Parking charges will be collected when vehicles leave the facility.
The project is an important step toward introducing modern digital parking facilities in the federal capital. The digital monitoring and cashless payment systems at the Blue Area Parking Plaza are expected to provide citizens with modern and secure parking facilities, along with a transparent process for payment of parking charges.
A restaurant will be set up on the rooftop, and the auction of several commercial shops in the plaza has been completed.
The opening comes amid persistent complaints about haphazard parking, traffic congestion and a shortage of designated parking in Islamabad’s major commercial areas.
