Mapo-gu Activates Shared Alley Parking Lots... 'Two Benefits with One Use' When Shared

Mapo-gu Holds 86 Shared Parking Spaces... Over 80,000 Vehicles Used Them in the Past 3 Years
Shared Parking Users Earn 70% of Parking Fees, Support Provided for Marking Shared Spaces and Signage

Mapo-gu (Mayor Park Gang-su) is accelerating the promotion of the 'Alley Shared Parking Project' this year to alleviate parking difficulties in densely populated residential areas.

The 'Alley Shared Parking Project' is a sharing service that allows users to pay for and use the available parking spaces in small-scale buildings such as single-family homes and apartment complexes for the time they need.

Users can find available shared parking lots in real-time through the 'Everyone's Parking Lot' application, make payments, and park immediately. The hourly usage fee averages around 1,200 KRW, varying by location.

Parking space sharers also receive 70% of the parking revenue, and benefits such as shared parking space painting and shared signage are provided. Additionally, building owners can freely select the days and times they want to share, increasing interest and participation.

Currently, 86 shared parking spaces are in operation in Mapo-gu, and over the past three years, a total of 80,035 vehicles have used Mapo-gu's shared parking spaces. The district announced that usage rates have increased by more than 37% compared to the previous year, indicating that the culture of shared parking within the area is becoming more active.

Lee Seung-ryong (38), who frequently uses shared parking lots, said, "I used to worry every time I had to park in the alley, but since using the shared parking lots, I no longer worry about parking enforcement and find it convenient." He expressed hope that more shared parking lots would be established in the future.

Accordingly, this year, Mapo-gu plans to focus on promoting the shared parking project in residential areas with insufficient parking spaces to secure more shared parking spots and also work on establishing new public parking lots.

Park Gang-su, Mayor of Mapo-gu, stated, "Due to Seoul's high population density and land prices, parking spaces are severely lacking. Sharing and opening parking lots is a good solution to parking problems." He added, "We ask for the active participation of residents in Mapo-gu's Alley Shared Parking Project and will do our best to improve residents' quality of life by alleviating parking difficulties."

Residents who wish to participate in Mapo-gu's 'Alley Shared Parking Project' can contact the Mapo-gu Parking Management Division for inquiries.
