At least 34 vehicles were towed as the National Transport and Transit Institute (Intrant) and the City Government of the National District began a pilot program to stop the prevalence of double parking in the city center.
For the pilot program, Parqueate Bien (Park Where You Should), signage was placed on 13 streets in the Polígono Central. The owners of the irregularly parked vehicles need to pay a fine of RD$1,000 for the return of their vehicles that are being towed to a parking lot in Naco. The Intrant has said the fines will be gradually increased to include the cost of the towing and storage. The plan is to extend the program to other congested city areas.
The pilot program covers the streets:
Poncio Sabater, Francisco Carias Lavandier, Respaldo 22, José Amado Soler, Calle 5, Pablo Casals, Manuel Henríquez, Boy Scout, Dr. Jacinto Mañón, Del Seminario, Fernando Escobar, Filomena Gómez de Coba and Calle Z.
