The Tel Aviv Municipality plans to double the price of parking for non-residents - he told Walla!

A source in the municipality.

According to the source, at this stage it is a matter of raising the price in the city center, probably to NIS 12-10 per hour.

The plan is expected to come up at city council meetings after the details close and has not yet been approved.



City officials explained that the current cost of an hour of parking, NIS 6.3, does not match the real price.

In Ahuzat HaHof parking lots, for example, the rate for non-residents is NIS 16 per hour from morning to afternoon, and in private parking lots it can increase to tens of shekels.

The gap creates incentives for arriving by private car and long-term parking in blue and white and reduces the available spaces available to residents.



The parking shortage in the city has intensified in recent years with the promotion of plans to reduce mobility and dependence on private vehicles, including paving bicycle paths, widening sidewalks, allocating parking spaces for shared vehicles (Ototel) and the lengthening of light rail works.

In all, 2,200 parking spaces in blue and white have been deducted in the past five years, while 11,900 have been added in private lots.

With the decline in supply, the phenomenon of renting private parking at exorbitant prices has risen.

On Central Ben Zion Street, parking was recently offered at NIS 1,100 per month.

In other sought-after streets in the heart of the city, such as Sheinkin, Montefiore and the Gan Meir area, the price is also around a thousand shekels.

Many residents despair of parking search campaigns and are forced to agree to pay the requested amount, whatever it may be.



The municipality has been talking about raising the price for a long time, but at the beginning of the year the possibility became real: the law of arrangements passed by the government included the abolition of the roof tariff that municipalities can charge for an hour of parking in blue and white.

So far no municipality has taken advantage of the reform.

If the change does take place in Tel Aviv, it is expected to become a test case from which local authorities will learn.
