The Municipality of Paphos is taking another important step towards achieving its strategic goal of making Paphos a smart and digital city by launching a smart parking management system from Friday 1st July, under a program co-funded by the European Union and the Republic of Cyprus project “Supply, install and maintenance of an intelligent parking management system for Paphos Municipality.
It is expected that the project under consideration will make a significant contribution to improving the services provided by the local authorities to residents and visitors of Paphos, since using the Pafos Smart Parking application, which was created as part of the project, it will be possible to check the occupancy of parking spaces in real time, receive instructions for parking places, as well as pay for the service in alternative and simple ways.
