Top Ten Hot Spots in the Parking Industry in 2023 (Part 2)

　Looking back on 2023, the most impressive thing about the parking industry is the obvious changes brought to the industry by the rapid growth of new energy vehicles. The second is that urban parking has transitioned from the construction stage to the management stage. Especially in big cities, platforms and various management methods have begun to be used to alleviate parking difficulties. Third, the growth rate of the parking market has slowed down, project implementation time has been extended, and changes in the economic environment have had a greater impact on parking companies. The following are the top ten hot spots in the parking industry in 2023 summarized by China Parking Network and "Urban Parking".

　　05 / Charging policy

Parking charging policies will change significantly in various places in 2023. Key cities such as Harbin, Guiyang, Qingdao, Nanning, Jinan, Wuxi, and Changsha, as well as small and medium-sized cities such as Linyi, Changzhou, Jiangmen, Yuncheng, Xuancheng, and Zhongwei, have revised and updated charging policy standards. . The revision direction of the charging policy in 2023 is mainly to extend the free parking period. At present, the free parking period of road parking spaces in nearly half of the big cities has been extended to 30 minutes, and there is a trend of extending it to 60 minutes in small and medium-sized cities.

In October 2023, nine ministries and commissions including the Ministry of Transport and the National Development and Reform Commission jointly issued the "Several Opinions on Promoting the Healthy and Sustainable Development of Urban Public Transportation", requiring the creation of a good atmosphere for preferential public transportation and green travel, and for urban core areas, Travel and parking services in congested areas can implement higher charging standards to reduce the intensity of use of cars in relevant areas. The policy of continuously extending free parking hours in various places actually encourages car travel in the core areas of the city, which is contrary to the policy of optimizing public transportation and green travel. How to coordinate the relationship between urban traffic management and people's livelihood needs is a question that needs to be considered by various places.

In addition, in 2023, parking management policies revised or newly introduced in various places will be based on local regulations for the first time. During the year, 27 cities promulgated parking management regulations by the National People's Congress, which is the most regulations in recent years.
