The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has unveiled plans to introduce a smart car parking system in Islamabad. This decision was made during a meeting chaired by CDA Chairman Muhammad Ali Randhawa on Thursday.
The meeting emphasized that implementing smart parking technology would not only resolve existing parking issues but also generate revenue for the authority. “It will be an automated car parking system at various locations in Islamabad,” said Chairman Randhawa. The system aims to enhance the efficiency and convenience of parking in the city by utilizing technology to streamline the process.
In addition to the smart parking initiative, the meeting also resolved to install trackers on all official CDA vehicles. This measure is intended to prevent misuse of vehicles and save fuel, ensuring better monitoring of the authority’s transport system. The tracking system is expected to help control fuel-related embezzlement, thereby improving transparency and accountability within the organization.
These initiatives reflect the CDA’s commitment to leveraging technology for improved urban management and operational efficiency. The smart parking system is anticipated to be a significant step towards modernizing Islamabad’s infrastructure, providing residents and visitors with a more organized and accessible parking experience.
