Million loss in parking revenues for Örebro municipality during the corona pandemic

In the clip, Örebroare reacts to the option of a parking fee in more places on Saturdays.

In 2020, the sum for parking revenues in Örebro was 3.5 million lower than budgeted.

For 2021, the forecast shows that revenues will land at SEK 44 million instead of SEK 49 million.

A loss of SEK 5 million.

- There is a lot of money that we can not collect elsewhere in the business, states unit manager for streets and traffic, Peter Grönlund.

Given that Örebro municipality has just introduced a tariff increase in Örebro, he does not see that another one would be the solution in 2021. However, there is hope that more people will go into the city center and park and that it will generate more money than the forecast shows.

Otherwise, new raises may be the option.

- What you can do is charge on Saturdays in places where it costs nothing today, but then it is probably about sometime after 2022.
