LASPA Champions Tech-Driven Parking Solutions for a Sustainable Lagos
The Lagos State Parking Authority (LASPA) has reaffirmed its dedication to implementing sustainable, technology-driven parking management solutions to enhance service delivery across the state.
In a recent interview, LASPA General Manager Mrs. Adebisi Adelabu emphasized the critical role of stakeholder collaboration, public compliance, and private sector involvement in achieving the authority’s objectives.
“Technology and innovation are at the core of our approach to modern parking management,” she stated, underscoring that effective solutions rely on accurate data, reliable systems, and seamless integration among relevant agencies.Mrs. Adelabu revealed that LASPA is developing systems designed to improve service delivery, including the introduction of verifiable QR-coded uniforms and identification cards for authorized parking agents and marshals.
These measures aim to help motorists easily identify legitimate personnel.She called for increased private sector partnerships, noting that the government alone cannot meet all infrastructure and service delivery needs.
Sectors such as healthcare, education, and transportation require substantial investment, making private sector engagement essential for enhancing parking infrastructure,” she added.While on-street parking initiatives are already in effect in some areas of Lagos, Mrs. Adelabu clarified that full implementation is still pending.
The delay is primarily due to the need for effective synergy and training of private sector partners before rolling out the initiative completely.Under the planned on-street parking system, one in every ten spaces will be designated for persons with disabilities, ensuring accessibility is a key component of the design and implementation process.
The authority has urged motorists, businesses, investors, and the public to support LASPA’s initiatives aimed at creating an organized, accessible, and sustainable parking management system. By improving mobility and optimizing urban space, LASPA aims to contribute to a more livable Lagos for all its residents.
