Background: To thoroughly implement the spirit of the Central Urban Work Conference, address the challenge of urban parking, and enhance the modernization of urban road traffic governance, in accordance with the requirements set forth in the “Notice on Issuing the Action Plan for Enhancing Civilized and Smooth Urban Road Traffic (2017–2020)” (Public Security General Letter [2017] No. 16) issued by the Ministry of Public Security, the Central Commission for Spiritual Civilization, the Ministry of Housing and Urban–Rural Development, and the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Housing and Urban–Rural Development have jointly formulated the “Guiding Opinions on Strengthening and Improving Urban Parking Management.”

Guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, upholding the people-centered development philosophy and grounded in the urban transportation development strategy, we are committed to establishing a parking management system that is well‑regulated, orderly, safe, and convenient for the public. In close alignment with initiatives such as the Action Plan for Enhancing Urban Road Traffic Civility and Smoothness and the effort to build model green‑transport cities, we will, in accordance with the overarching principles of government leadership, market guidance, social co‑governance, and public participation, rigorously standardize parking enforcement, accelerate the development of parking and charging infrastructure, make better use of existing parking spaces, innovate in the application of parking‑information technologies, strengthen parking‑space management in key areas, and fully leverage the role of urban communities. Through these measures, we aim to forge a governance framework based on joint construction, joint governance, and shared benefits, elevate the modernization of urban parking management, promote the coordinated development of urban transportation and the economy and society, and enhance the people’s sense of gain, happiness, and security.
