The City has installed 10,856 roadside smart parking spaces. Automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) technology is used to calculate parking fees without issuing physical parking charge notices. To facilitate public identification, smart parking information signs are installed along the roadside, while each smart parking space is also marked with a green logo and the Chinese word “Smart”.
Following the implementation of smart parking fee collection, paperless ticketing has reduced the use of approximately 17.41 million paper parking charge notices annually, equivalent to a reduction of approximately 22 metric tons of carbon emissions.
In addition, geomagnetic sensors are being installed at fee-charging parking spaces other than smart parking spaces. To date, 27,293 geomagnetic sensor-equipped parking spaces have been installed to detect parking-space occupancy in real time. Members of the public may access real-time roadside parking availability through the Public Parking Service Information Website, thereby reducing the time spent driving around in search of parking spaces.
In accordance with the Parking Lot Act and the Regulations Governing the Installation and Management of Dedicated Parking Spaces and Charging Facilities for Electric Vehicles, the City continues to provide dedicated parking spaces with electric vehicle charging services. The number of installations is also adjusted on a rolling basis in line with the adoption of electric vehicles in the City to avoid adversely affecting the parking rights of existing internal combustion engine vehicle users.
The program is implemented through the outsourced operation of public parking facilities, with private-sector operators responsible for the installation, operation, and management of charging facilities. Installations have currently been completed at 200 parking facilities, providing a total of 1,018 charging connectors, while installation coverage across applicable facilities has reached nearly 90%. The number installed has also exceeded the statutory minimum installation ratio of 2% for public parking facilities, and charging facilities continue to be incorporated into newly developed parking facilities.
To address temporary stopping needs associated with passenger pick-up and drop-off and freight and logistics operations, and to prevent passenger and cargo loading and unloading activities from affecting traffic order and safety, the City conducts on-site assessments at existing urban hotspots with high temporary stopping demand. Where the locations are not subject to statutory stopping restrictions and roadway configurations permit, the City expedites the provision of temporary stopping spaces. To date, 545 yellow curb sections have been added, bringing the citywide total length of yellow curb markings to 58,287 meters. These sections include temporary stopping hotspots at the City’s 38 MRT stations and 38 LRT stations. The City will continue to plan temporary stopping spaces in response to commercial activity needs, improve parking order, and enhance traffic safety.
To improve land-use efficiency, the City is constructing intelligent multilevel parking facilities and introducing private investment through public–private partnership projects or ground-lease tenders to promote the multifunctional and vertical development of parking facilities. Intelligent management systems are incorporated to improve operational efficiency. These facilities integrate automated fee collection systems, parking-space occupancy detection and display systems, parking availability information systems, LED parking vacancy displays, license plate recognition systems, and smart vehicle locator systems to maximize parking facility utilization.
Aozihdi Parking Facility (Lot No. 35) BOT Project
The occupancy permit is expected to be obtained in the third quarter of 2026. The project comprises an eight-story above-ground and four-level underground parking facility. The public parking component will provide 600 passenger car spaces, 1,100 motorcycle spaces, and 40 bicycle spaces. City Government office space, including 575 ping of common facilities, as well as retail space, restaurants, and general offices will also be introduced as ancillary businesses. Over the 50-year concession period, the project is expected to generate approximately NT$5 billion in economic benefits for the City.
Zhichang Parking Facility Ground-Lease Project
The parking facility site is being leased for development as a mixed-use multilevel parking facility. A groundbreaking ceremony was held on January 13, 2025, and the private operator is investing NT$300 million in the project. The occupancy permit was expected to be obtained in June 2026. The project comprises a two-story above-ground parking facility, with the public parking component providing 124 passenger car spaces and 124 motorcycle spaces. Rooftop solar photovoltaic facilities will also be installed. Public facilities, including a neighborhood activity center and a day care center, as well as ancillary businesses such as a badminton facility, will also be incorporated. Over the 30-year contract period, the project is expected to generate approximately NT$91.5 million in rental revenue for the City Government.
Hanmin Park Underground Parking Facility
Construction commenced on April 25, 2025. The project comprises a two-level underground parking facility that will provide 290 passenger car spaces. Smart parking equipment will also be installed to enhance management efficiency.
In addition to developing land designated for parking facilities under urban plans, the City also utilizes idle municipal land or cooperates with other public agencies, including the National Property Administration and the Ministry of National Defense, to increase parking supply. From July 2025 to January 2026, ten new surface off-street parking lots were completed, adding 698 passenger car spaces and 1,168 motorcycle spaces to alleviate parking demand in hotspot areas. Eleven additional parking facilities are currently under development and, upon completion, will provide approximately 635 passenger car spaces and 210 motorcycle spaces. All completed public parking facilities upload real-time parking availability information for integration with relevant mobile applications.
The City encourages private operators to utilize idle land to establish privately operated public parking facilities, mobilizing private-sector resources to jointly alleviate local parking demand while improving the urban parking environment and reducing environmental blight. From July 2025 to January 2026, the City provided guidance for the establishment and registration of 64 new privately operated public parking facilities, adding 3,595 passenger car spaces and 1,885 motorcycle spaces.
