Illegal Parking Location at Blok M Square Sealed

The illegal parking in the Blok M Square area, besides harming the public, also harms the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government. Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Special Committee (Pansus) on Parking Management of the DKI Jakarta DPRD has sealed the illegal parking area at Blok M Square, Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta, to protect public interests and original regional revenue (PAD). “The sealing is carried out to protect potential losses to original regional revenue,” said the Chairman of the Pansus on Parking Management of the DKI Jakarta DPRD, Jupiter, in Jakarta on Monday. According to him, the illegal parking in the Blok M Square area, besides harming the public, also harms the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government. For this reason, the Pansus, together with the executive in this case the Parking Unit (UP) of the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency, has sealed the illegal parking, and this will continue in other areas. Jupiter assured that the sealing and inspection are efforts to supervise parking in DKI Jakarta. “We are protecting the rights of the public,” he said at the sealing location. Previously, Jupiter stated that the pansus is encouraging the digitalisation of the parking system to strengthen transaction recording, including closing potential regional revenue leakages. “Digitalisation must be carried out. All operators are required to use a cashless (non-cash) payment system,” he said. He assessed that off-street parking or parking facilities located outside the main road separated from general traffic have great potential to increase Original Regional Revenue (PAD). He also mentioned that many buildings in Jakarta have parking areas managed by operators. Therefore, the Pansus requests that revenue supervision no longer rely on manual recording. In addition to non-cash payments, the Pansus also highlighted the implementation of the Electronic Transaction Parking Tax (E-TRAPT) in real time by the Regional Revenue Agency (Bapenda).
