HCMC proposes limiting vehicle inspection of cars that do not pay parking fees on the road

    MINH QUÂN |

    HCMC - Faced with the situation of many cars parked but refusing to pay the fee, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Transport proposed to limit inspection of cars in violation.

    This proposal was stated by the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Transport in a document sent to the Ministry of Construction and the Vietnam Road Administration on handling problems and inadequacies in traffic organization and road parking points.

    According to the Department of Transport, Ho Chi Minh City has granted operating licenses to 21 hourly parking lots on the road. However, in reality, many problems have not been completely resolved.

    One of the major problems is the situation of motorbikes occupying parking spaces in the toll collection area, but has not been completely handled by the relevant districts.

    In particular, many cars are parked in the right area but deliberately do not pay the fee, while there are no effective sanctions.

    The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Transport proposes to add sanctions, including limiting vehicle inspection that does not fulfill the obligation to pay fees.

    As reported by Lao Dong Newspaper, Ho Chi Minh City collected hourly parking fees for cars on 20 routes from December 2020 to the end of October 2024 with 22.04 billion VND, but spent 24.32 billion VND, accounting for a loss of 2.28 billion VND.

    Phase 4.12.2020 - 30.6.2022: Revenue of more than VND 4.31 billion, expenditure of VND 8.67 billion (losure of VND 4.3 billion).

    Phase 1.7.2022 - 30.6.2023: Revenue of more than 5.94 billion VND, expenditure of 6.67 billion VND (losing 0.7 billion VND).

    Phase 1.7.2023 - 31.3.2024: Revenue of more than 6.75 billion VND, expenditure of 5.27 billion VND (profit of 1.5 billion VND).

    Phase 1.4.2024 - 30.10.2024: Revenue of more than 5 billion VND, expenditure of 3.71 billion VND ( profit of 1.3 billion VND).

    From January 1, 2025, the Youth Volunteer Public Service Company Limited (the unit assigned to organize fee collection) has piloted fee collection using traditional traditional teaching technology on three routes: Hai Ba Trung, Le Lai and Pham Huu Chi.

    This system will automatically deduct fees through the traffic account using the eTag/e Pass reader device posted on the vehicle or creating a dynamic QR code for the driver to scan and pay.

    This method helps limit direct contact, avoid controversy and negativity, while reducing the time for downloading the application and payment. If the pilot is successful, the model will be replicated on many other routes.
