Tirana Parking manages the public parking spaces assigned to Tirana Municipality, including above-ground and underground facilities, with both paid and free parking. Its services include resident permits, subscriptions to parking lots, paid reserved spaces and taxi-related parking services.2 The organisation’s listed office is on Ali Begeja Street in Tirana, Albania.2
A central service is the resident card, which allows eligible residents to park without charge in their designated area. Residents can apply for or renew the card online, as well as through Tirana Parking’s offices.10 The organisation also manages subscriptions for municipal parking lots, available for periods of one, three, six or twelve months, and is identified on its website as the institution responsible for paid public parking.29
The Tirana Parking app brings several of these services into a digital platform. It supports online applications and renewals for resident cards, services for taxi operators, and electronic management of paid public parking and reserved spaces.1 The organisation says digitisation is intended to simplify access, automate processes and improve monitoring and financial transparency.1
Its scale is reflected in figures published on its website: Tirana Parking reports managing ten above- and underground parking lots and having issued more than 73,000 resident cards.3 The organisation’s director-general is Flavio Barçi.4 A company-record listing describes Tirana Parking as a concession company established on 12 May 2016, but the available sources do not establish that date as the founding date of the municipal institution itself.11
