Sharjah Municipality announced the launch of a subscription service to the public parking for people with disabilities, by registering and linking their cards, issued by different UAE authorities, to the public parking system through the municipality's website, which eases vehicle plate’s recognition without the need for the card that is placed inside the vehicle.
Obaid Saeed Al Tunaiji, Director General of the Municipality of Sharjah, confirmed that the municipality pays great attention to people with disabilities, and is keen to provide them with the best services and overcome any obstacles or difficulties they face. The municipality also provides a free of charge public parking service, pointing out that this new service adds more flexibility to people with disabilities when using Sharjah city parking lots, and saves time and effort without the need to place the card on the front of the vehicle, as the disability permit will be recognised automatically through digital scanning.
Hamed Al Qaed, Director of the Public Parking Department, explained that the municipality has converted cards into virtual ones by registering them in the public parking system through the Sharjah Municipality website, in line with the great development in smart inspections of parking lots and monitoring violations, to overcome the obstacles facing an important segment of society and to provide the easiest ways to use the paid parking service in the city of Sharjah.
The Director of the Public Parking Department pointed out that registration in the system allows people with disabilities to benefit from more than 66 thousand parking spaces in Sharjah, with the exception of parking spaces reserved for institutions and commercial establishments, in the event that the vehicle driver does not benefit from the service provided.
