The Mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, is privatising the department for parking enforcement in order to crack down on unpaid ticket offences in the French capital.
\n 
\n9 in 10 motorists are thought to be leaving their cars in public parking spaces without paying due to weak surveillance. This could be losing the City of Paris up to \u20ac300m in annual revenues.
\n 
\nBut Mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, recently announced a major reform to parking enforcement in the capital, which is aimed at improving traffic flows, freeing up overoccupied parking spaces and making short-stay parking easier.
\n 
\nOn September 12th she launched the Direction de la Pr\u00e9vention de la S\u00e9curit\u00e9 et de la Protection (DPSP), whose 1,900 officers will work to prevent parking offences, issue penalties and handle disputes.
\n 
\nTicket officers are currently employed under the Pr\u00e9fet de Police and are financed by the City of Paris. By January 1st 2018, they will be placed under the direct control of the Mayor of Paris. There are also plans to improve surveillance methods by installing more street cameras and using digital devices to register vehicles.
