This document aims to improve order in the parking space and reduce the automotive load on the roads. The city administration emphasizes that free parking spaces contribute to an increase in the number of cars and exceed the capacity of the transport network, especially in the central areas of the city.
According to the proposal, a zonal parking fee is planned to be implemented in the central part of Bishkek, with costs ranging from 30 to 50 soms per hour.
An automated payment system will provide a rate of 30-50 soms for the first two hours, and then 20 soms for each subsequent hour.
The city administration is confident that the introduction of paid parking will help reduce traffic jams, organize traffic flow, and ensure comfortable movement for pedestrians, as well as increase revenues to the city budget for the development of parking infrastructure.
Starting in 2025, the Code of Offenses will include fines for evading parking fees: 10 calculation indicators for individuals and 50 for legal entities.
