Abu Dhabi Tightens Parking Service Regulations

Abu Dhabi: Operating a Parking Service Requires a Permit

From now on, parking service providers operating in Abu Dhabi are required to have an official permit to operate legally, announced the Integrated Transport Centre (ITC), which is part of the Department of Municipalities and Transport. The authority warned that operating without a permit or misusing an existing permit is considered illegal and will have legal consequences.

Tightened Controls and Increased Supervision

The ITC stated that its on-site inspection teams continuously monitor the provision of services at various facilities. The aim is to ensure compliance with the prevailing regulations and to maintain an organized environment that aligns with public order and the living standards of Abu Dhabi.

The authority encourages hotels, shopping malls, and other service providers to review the legal status of their operations and check the validity of their existing permits. The ITC emphasized that only by using licensed parking service providers can the legal security and protection of car owners and their vehicles be guaranteed.

The Role of Residents in Regulation

The center also highlighted the responsibility of residents: when someone uses a parking service, it is advisable to check whether the service provider has an official permit. This not only ensures the quality of the service but also promotes safe and transparent operations.

Any irregularities, unauthorized operations, or other abuses can be reported to the ITC through its official channels. This regulatory effort is part of a long-term objective to have a unified, high-quality transportation system in Abu Dhabi that ensures smooth traffic, compliant services, and safe mobility.

Summary

The current measure is an important step towards the unification, inspection, and regulation of parking services. Abu Dhabi aims to provide a modern, well-organized, and safe urban environment for all residents and visitors, and for this, the legal operation of service providers and the awareness of the population are essential.
