In Jakarta, the number of motorized vehicles continues to increase from year to year. Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) data shows that in 2022, the number of motorized vehicles will reach 26.37 million units. This number increased by 4.39% from previous year which amounted to 25.26 million units. This motorized vehicle growth can have both positive and negative impacts. One of its negative impacts is illegal parking problems, because there are not enough parking spaces for vehicles.

Illegal parking is among the urban issues that can lead to congestion, accidents, and inconvenience for citizens. It frequently occurs in busy centers such as markets, malls, stations, and office areas. Therefore, it is essential for us to take an active role in reporting and addressing the problem of illegal parking.

Throughout 2022, a total of 7,899 reports on illegal parking have been received by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government through 13 complaint channels that are integrated through the Rapid Community Response (CRM) system.
