[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] Bucheon City in Gyeonggi Province is addressing parking difficulties and illegal parking by sharing resident-priority parking lots.

The city announced on the 20th that it recently signed a "Business Agreement for the Promotion of Parking Sharing Project" with Bucheon Urban Corporation and Modu Company Co., Ltd.

The parking sharing project allows the sharing of parking spaces during times when the assigned users of resident-priority parking lots are not using them. Since February, the city has been promoting this project to maximize the efficiency of parking space usage and solve urban parking problems.

According to the agreement, Modu Company provides an easy and convenient parking sharing service through the "Modu's Parking Lot" app, which has the largest number of users in Korea.

Providers of parking spaces assigned as resident-priority parking lots register the times they do not use the space on the Modu's Parking Lot app, and users can smoothly use the shared parking spaces through this app.

As part of the "Smart City Challenge" project to activate parking sharing, the city pays 50% of the parking fees paid by users to the parking space providers in the form of mobile gift certificates or individual mileage within the Modu's Parking Lot app.

The city plans to operate a pilot area for the parking sharing project starting in August and gradually expand it throughout Bucheon City.

A Bucheon City official stated, "Starting at the end of this month, we will actively promote parking sharing together with Bucheon Urban Corporation and strengthen enforcement support for shared parking spaces to establish a proper parking sharing culture," adding, "We expect the parking sharing project to greatly help alleviate parking difficulties."
