The Lagos State Government has signed a memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Automat and i-Cell software solution, providing companies as part of efforts to revolutionise the State Parking Management and ease traffic gridlock.
The partnership agreement was formalised recently by the General Manager, Lagos State Parking Authority (LASPA), Mrs. Adebisi Adelabu with the representatives of Automata, Mr. Pereira Seun and the representatives of i-Cell, Mr. Hassan Fayad and Mr. Fayad Fayad.
According to the General Manager of LASPA, the MoU agreement will help bring about the introduction of advanced technology and modern infrastructure into the Lagos State parking landscape.
She further noted that the introduction of both the parking management software solutions as well as the software and hardware applications for enforcement solutions by Automata and i-Cell respectively, is part of the State Government’s comprehensive plan to improve the state parking culture, reduce indiscriminate parking and enhance free flow of vehicular movement with the use of technology.
Mrs. Adelabu emphasised that the newly introduced parking management and enforcement solutions in the State will not only transform the current parking management processes in Lagos, but also drive improvement in On-street parking.
She further enumerated some of the benefits of the newly introduced parking management solutions to include enhanced planning for better movement, knowledge of various parking locations across the State, enable booking for available parking slots from the comfort zones, reduce harassment of motorists by touts and illegal operators as well as support the vision for sustainable urban mobility.
She, therefore, enjoined motorists and Lagos residents to ensure compliance with the State Parking Regulations, stressing that LASPA is resolute in the actualisation of its mandate.
