The technological revolution launched by ATM Spa is ready to enrich itself with a new piece: Smart parking will be active from Tuesday 22 April in the city. At the same time, the 45 parks installed in recent weeks in various areas of the city will enter service, which will allow you to pay the stop with coins or credit card.
“Immediately after Easter we will start the innovative parking system, which will serve to facilitate the search for the parking space in the city center and will represent a real turning point for mobility. Thanks to the so -called intelligent parking, there will be enormous benefits on the city roads”. So the mayor expressed himself Federico Basile.
The first citizen also recalls that “the project was entirely financed with the funds of the Pon City Metropolitan Città 2014-2020 and 2014-2020, intercepted by the Municipality and transferred to the transport company as a actuator, for a total amount of about one and a half million of Euro “https://messina.gazzettadodelSud.it/articoli/cronta/2025/04/17/messina-dal-22-pile-sara-elo-smart-pco-tome-6eb193bc-f8a-4822-9f18-430E8C1B55E5/.” Parking is part of our overall vision of the city, based on an integrated and sustainable mobility system, which aims to reduce CO2 emissions. Our goal remains to promote and encourage the use of public transporthowever giving the possibility to those who want to use the private car to park near the center, provided that this happens in an orderly way and avoiding to create chaos in the city arteries “, adds the deputy mayor Salvatore Mondello.
To explain how the smart parking will work is the president of ATM Carla Grillo: “Through the 50 displays installed in 31 strategic positions, motorists will have the opportunity to know how many there are free stalls in that precise way. The parking payment procedure, both via app and via aelometer, will compulsorily require the indication of the stall number. Instead, it will not be necessary to display any coupon.
Furthermore, with the start of the Smart Parking, the scratch cards can no longer be used, but motorists will still be able to continue buying the parking ticket at authorized dealers, in which both the license plate number and the occupied stall must be indicated “.
“Thanks to Smart Parking – comments the maximum representative of the Messina Transport Company – to park the car it will no longer be necessary to turn around with the car looking for a free place”. “The intelligent parking – the Mayor Basie and President Grillo highlight – will be perfectly integrated with the ZTL and the verification apps supplied to the ATM staff will automatically provide information on cars connected to residents of residents and on hybrid or electric cars”. Finally, the president of ATM highlights how Smart Parking will allow you to verify irregular occupations in blue stalls in real time.
