Lagos, ARCA collaborate to improve parking payment process

The Lagos State Government has partnered ARCA Payment Limited to develop a parking payment system that will enhance coordinated parking operations between the authority and public.

Revealing this development at a partnership meeting between the Lagos State Parking Authority and ARCA, the General Manager of LASPA, Mrs Adebisi Adelabu, stated that the partnership would improve the overall parking system by ensuring a seamless transaction process for permits, registration and enquiry, among others.

This is contained in a statement by Head of Public Affairs Unit at LASPA, Abayomi Ariba.

According to Adelabu, the partnership is a commitment towards integrating technological solutions into the Authority’s parking management system, which will provide a user-friendly system whilst building an accurate database to manage parking proceedings for the state.

She noted that the Authority had adopted innovative ways in providing lasting solutions to parking challenges for a safe and secured environment.

Adelabu explained that the initiative would guarantee a stress-free process for end users of the Authority’s services, emphasising the effect on reconciliation and revenue assurance for the government.

The general manager said the Authority was committed towards supporting various organizations and business entities to identify and proffer long-term solutions to their parking challenges.

She observed that most organizations operating in the state lacked adequate parking space, causing indiscriminate parking.

To reduce indiscriminate parking across the state, she said the government had commenced the installation of signages and lane markings in phases across the state to guide motorists and pedestrians on available parking lots.

Adelabu urged the public to support the Authority’s efforts in improving the parking system of the state.

She noted that enforcement of parking regulations had significantly reduced road mishaps and traffic congestion across the metropolis.

The MD/CEO ARCA Payment, Mr Oluwadare Owolabi, appreciated the government’s role in regulating parking across the state in line with the smart city drive.

He said the integration of the application solution to manage parking proceedings would further promote effective customer service, accountability and transparency for all organizations and business entities.

Owolabi unveiled plans to commence intensive training for staff members of the Authority on how to navigate through the application software.
