The Rehovot Municipality is advancing a plan to revise city parking rates, aiming to provide reduced fees for the city's residents compared to non-residents. This proposed amendment to the municipal by-law will be presented for approval at the next City Council meeting. The initiative is part of a policy to prioritize Rehovot residents and alleviate their parking expenses.
Currently, Rehovot residents receive two hours of free parking in blue-and-white zones throughout the city, a benefit that will be maintained under the new proposal. Beyond the initial two hours, the standard parking rate is NIS 5.42 per hour for both residents and non-residents. Under the proposed changes, this hourly rate would decrease to NIS 5 for Rehovot residents, while increasing to NIS 6.5 for non-residents.
Furthermore, the daily parking rate would be lowered from NIS 23.24 to NIS 20 for city residents, contrasting with an increase to NIS 26 for non-residents. The municipality is promoting this measure during a period of extensive development and infrastructure work across Rehovot. These projects, intended to upgrade transportation, renew infrastructure, and enhance public spaces, are crucial for the city's future growth and adaptation.
While these works are essential, they also involve changes to traffic and parking arrangements that impact daily life. The municipality acknowledges these disruptions and, alongside continuing the necessary projects, is taking steps to ease daily routines during this transitional period.
