POLICIES

PARKING POLICY, 2020

This policy results from a review of the 2014 Parking Policy, to ensure alignment with the strategic priorities of the City, international best practice, and to strengthen the implementation and review aspects of the policy. It is written in a context of growing congestion and an under-performing rail service, but also an established quality MyCiTi bus service, notably serving the Cape Town CBD and surrounds. Parking provision and management is part of a more holistic plan for integrating transport in Cape Town.
