ITE staff must pay for parking from October

28 Jul 2017

The Straits Times, 28 Jul 2017 - Article mentioned that all Institute of Technical Education (ITE) staff will need to pay for parking from October. They were informed yesterday that they will be charged season parking rates of $80 and $110 per month for surface and sheltered carparks respectively - in line with rates at the nearby HDB carparks. The move comes two years after an Auditor-General's Office (AGO) report had faulted some educational institutions including SP and TP for allowing their staff to park for free or charging fees below the market rate. NYP staff and students were also told yesterday that parking rates would be revised from October. Season parking for its staff will also cost $80 and $110 for unsheltered and sheltered carparks respectively. Parking on campus was mostly free previously. The polytechnic is also introducing hourly parking rates - charged on a per minute basis - for staff, students and members of the public who park on its campus. The rest of the polytechnics will soon follow suit.
