Incheon City to Provide 20,000 KRW Monthly per Parking Space for Opening Private Parking Lots Starting Next Year

Starting next year, Incheon will provide an operational maintenance fee of 20,000 KRW per parking space per month when private parking lots are opened.

On the 25th, Incheon City announced that it has prepared a plan to expand the support criteria for activating parking sharing to solve the shortage of parking spaces. The parking sharing activation project is a program that allows local residents to use parking spaces during times when private parking lots are not in use.

Currently, the city supports up to 30 million KRW for facility improvement costs when private parking lots are opened for free during idle hours, or provides 1.5 million KRW per parking space for facility improvement costs when sharing parking spaces using private apps.

In addition, the city selected Bupyeong-gu’s support project, which provides an operational maintenance fee of 15,000 KRW per parking space per month when opening private parking lots, as an exemplary case and decided to expand it throughout Incheon starting next year and increase the operational maintenance fee. When opening private parking lots for two years, 20,000 KRW per parking space per month will be supported, but this cannot be combined with facility improvement cost support.

The city also significantly relaxed the mandatory maintenance period from 5 years to 1 year when sharing parking spaces using online platforms (private apps) to encourage active participation from citizens.

Meanwhile, Incheon City signed a business agreement with the Incheon Christian Council on the 11th to cooperate on the 'Religious Facility Private Parking Lot Opening Support Project.' The city expects that 10 churches in the region will additionally open private parking lots next year.
