Cairo Governor Dr. Ibrahim Saber has announced that, in response to citizens' requests, the first system to regulate the parking attendant position will be implemented starting Thursday in Cairo.

Governor Saber stated that the new system aims to establish an advanced mechanism that identifies authorized parking attendants for citizens and various entities. Additionally, it will restore the traditional brass badges that distinguish official parking attendants.

Moreover, Saber said the new system obligates parking attendants from companies, which the Cairo Governorate contracted to rent and manage parking spaces, to wear a uniform with non-counterfeit markings.

Saber added that the new uniform is a distinctive light blue jacket, similar to the color of the Cairo Governorate logo. One side of the jacket displays a badge resembling the traditional brass badge worn by parking attendants in the past, inscribed with a code that identifies the governorate, the company's operational area (West, North, South, or East), and the specific district in which the company is licensed to operate. The opposite side of the jacket includes a barcode that can be scanned with a mobile phone to reveal information such as the area and district code, the location of the parking area contracted by the company, the company's name, the name of its legal representative, the names of the parking attendants, their national ID numbers, the company's commercial registration, the tax card, the parking fees for the first and second hours, and the street where the parking area is situated. This measure is designed to prevent the forgery of the barcode and its misuse by unauthorized individuals.

Furthermore, Saber stated that any citizen can verify the parking attendant's official contract with the governorate by scanning the code. They can also find out the hourly parking rate for the location where they park their car. He pointed out that the hotline number for the Cairo Governorate's operations room has been printed on the back of the uniform, allowing citizens to report any complaints regarding authorized parking attendants.

Saber also confirmed that Cairo is the first governorate to regulate the parking attendant system, which will initially be implemented in the districts of the western area. This system will then be gradually expanded to all districts of Cairo, enabling security authorities to take necessary legal action against individuals who practice as parking attendants without proper registration with the administrative authority, in accordance with Law 150 of 2020. Additionally, this regulation will assist security authorities in identifying parking attendants who are officially registered at the parking locations licensed by the governorate.
