HDB introduces family season
parking ticket from 1 Oct 2007 |
|
|
The Forum on HDB Heartware, led by Minister
of State for National Development, Ms Grace Fu released its report on 3
Aug 2007. |
|
One of the recommendations was that HDB
introduce a 'family-friendly" car-parking arrangement to facilitate
family visits to foster closer ties. |
|
HDB is therefore introducing the family
season parking ticket from 1 Oct 2007. |
|
Family Season Parking Ticket or Family
SPT |
|
The Family SPT is for HDB residents who
require SPT to two different car parks because of family arrangements. |
|
Many working couples have dinners at their
parents’ flat or spend time with their children who are left in the care
of their family members. Some residents may also spend considerable
amount of time at their parents’ or grandparents’ flat looking after
their daily needs. |
|
For such residents, who have already bought
a regular SPT to park at their own residential car park, there is a need
for a second SPT to park at another car park for visiting their parents,
children, grandparents, siblings or their in-laws. |
|
The Family SPT will be sold at 50% of the
regular SPT price applicable to the car park where the Family SPT is to
be purchased. |
|
For example, regular monthly SPT
charges for passenger cars are $65 for surface car parks and $90
for multi-storey car parks. The corresponding charges for Family
SPT would be at $32.50 and $45. |
|
Residents will get priority on parking
and the Family SPT will only apply to car parks where there are
sufficient parking lots for residents. |
|
The Family SPT holders will enjoy the
same benefits as the normal SPT holders i.e. Family SPT holders
can park at the designated season parking lots without having to
display parking coupons. |
|
Motorists who are buying the Family
SPT for the first time may approach any HDB Branch Office/Service
Centre with the necessary proof of relationship. For subsequent
renewals, they can do so via internet, self-service kiosks, post
or GIRO. |
|
For more details of Family SPT,
motorist can browse HDB's Internet website under the section HOME
OWNERS > Season Parking > Related Info >
Family SPT. |
|
They can also call Branch Office
Service Line (toll free) : 1800 2255432 if they need
clarification. |
