We're optimistic to achieve the target this year
The Parking Technical Management Unit (UPT) for Jakarta Transportation Department is targeting to receive the revenue of on-street parking levy this year by Rp 1.2 trillion. Last year, the on-street parking revenue from 400 parking lots was only Rp 7.8 billion or not achieved target. This is because of the leakage of parking levy by Rp 400 billion.
"From our calculation, the revenue per year should reach Rp 500 billion per year," told Head of Parking UPT, Sunardi Sinaga, Wednesday (6/24).

By this year, Jakarta Provincial Government firstly applied the electronic parking system on Jalan H Agus Salim or Jalan Sabang, Menteng, Central Jakarta. Surely, it brings a positive impact on the revenue of parking levy.

He uttered, the system has also applied on Jalan Boulevard Raya, Kelapa Gading, North Jakarta. Before being applied, the revenue was only Rp 4.7 million per day, but it has increased Rp 100 million per day.
"We installed 90 electronic parking systems on such road," he uttered.
