HDB Introducing RFID Tags To Replace Paper Season Parking
Tickets
HDB is introducing Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags to
replace the current paper disc issued to season parking tickets
(SPT) holders. The new tags will be issued progressively to all SPT
holders within one year.
Currently, HDB SPT holders display the paper disc on their vehicles
for verification by parking enforcement officers. The season
parking details are displayed on the disc, which is replaced each
time the motorist renews the season parking. In Aug 2005, HDB had
implemented RFID tags in place of the paper disc tickets on a pilot
basis at seven car parks. Following the successful trial and
positive response, HDB will be implementing the system to all its
residential car parks.
The introduction of the RFID tags will bring more convenience for
SPT holders as they would no longer need to replace the paper SPT
each time they renew their season parking. The transition is also
simple. Like the existing paper disc, the RFID tag is displayed on
the windscreen for cars or near the road tax disc for motorcycles.
The RFID tag will store a serial number that identifies the
vehicle. Parking enforcement officers using handheld scanners can
then scan the RFID tag for the number, which is matched against
information on the vehicle, such as its licence plate number and
SPT's period of validity.
SPT holders will be notified by post closer to the time when the
RFID tags are implemented at their car parks. New SPT applicants
will be given RFID tags when they apply to purchase season
parking.
The first batch of car parks / areas where HDB will start sending
out the RFID tags is listed in ANNEX A for reference. SPT holders
using these car parks who do not receive their notification and
tags by 15 Mar 2007 or those who need further clarification can
contact HDB Branch Office Service Line at 1800-2255432 between 8am
and 5pm on weekdays.
