In a significant move for urban mobility, Parkin Company PJSC, a leading provider of paid parking services in Dubai, has announced its strategic alliance with Secure Parking, a global mobility operator. This partnership aims to boost the implementation of barrierless parking systems throughout the UAE, paving the way for a completely digitized urban transportation landscape.
Growth of Barrierless Parking Framework
Building on the success of a pilot program at City Walk in Dubai, where an integrated barrierless parking system is already functioning, both companies have uncovered a prospective expansion of more than 60,000 parking spaces across the UAE.
This initiative meets the escalating demand for swift and seamless parking solutions, positioning it as one of the most ambitious smart parking transformation efforts in the region.
Leveraging Local Capabilities and Global Expertise
Currently, Parkin oversees around 229,000 paid parking spots in Dubai and recorded over 70 million transactions in just the first half of 2025. The firm continues to play an integral role in the increasingly digital mobility ecosystem of Dubai.
Secure Parking brings over two decades of experience in the UAE and manages approximately 1.2 million parking spaces across 13 countries. This partnership effectively merges Parkin's extensive digital infrastructure with Secure Parking's worldwide expertise in innovative parking technologies.
City Walk: A Template for Intelligent Mobility
The City Walk initiative stands as a prime example of effective barrierless parking implementation. Utilizing vehicle recognition and digital payment technologies, the system eliminates traditional access hurdles, enhancing both traffic flow and user convenience.
Motorists are equipped with real-time confirmations, transparent pricing, SMS alerts, and defined payment grace periods, ensuring a fluid and compliant parking experience.
Valet Services and Digital Integration Expansion
Apart from regular parking, the partnership will delve into valet services as well. Customers will be able to settle valet fees directly through the Parkin app and digital wallet, fostering a cohesive payment system.
Secure Parking will oversee select Parkin-branded valet locations, ensuring that international service standards elevate the user experience across the UAE.
Visionary Leadership
As Parkin's CEO, Eng. Mohamed Abdulla Al Ali commented, this partnership hastens the transition to a completely barrierless framework, aligning with Dubai's smart city vision by providing scalable, tech-driven mobility options.
Dr. Navin Valrani, Secure Parking UAE CEO, emphasized that barrierless parking is rapidly becoming a necessary urban infrastructure, enabling real-time analytics, increased operational efficiency, and smarter city integration.
By merging digital innovation, operational capacity, and global expertise, this collaboration is poised to redefine urban parking across the UAE, creating a fully integrated, forward-thinking mobility ecosystem.
