The Catarroja City Council will launch a new phase of the Pla Aparca on May 4, an initiative to improve coexistence, road safety, and accessibility in public spaces.

This action is part of the municipality's recovery process after the DANA on October 29, 2024, aiming to prevent improper parking on sidewalks, pedestrian crossings, intersections, green areas, or essential access points.
The council highlighted that this measure responds to an exceptional situation that deeply altered the daily lives of many families, with unusable garages and difficulties in moving and parking. During this time, they have acted with flexibility and enabled over 2,700 new parking spaces within the framework of the Pla Aparca.
“

"After months in which we have supported many families with understanding and flexibility, Catarroja is moving towards a new stage, and moving forward also means gradually recovering normality, order, and respect for the space we all share."

the City Council management
Improper parking continues to create mobility and coexistence difficulties, especially for the elderly, children, families with strollers, and people with reduced mobility, in addition to hindering access for public and emergency services.
This new phase of the Pla Aparca is not merely a regulatory matter, but a commitment to continue caring for the municipality through shared responsibility and proper use of common space. The goal is to consolidate a more friendly, accessible, and safe Catarroja, leaving behind dynamics associated with the exceptional circumstances experienced after the DANA.
Data from recent months reflects the need to continue moving in this direction: during 2025, 2,741 infractions related to improper parking were registered, and in the first quarter of 2026, 586 were counted, compared to 149 registered in the same period of the previous year.
“

"This is not a revenue-generating measure, but an action to care for Catarroja, protect coexistence, and reclaim public spaces for people. Because rebuilding the municipality is not just about repairing what is damaged, but also about recovering a more respectful, safer, and more inclusive way of living together."

the City Council management
The City Council will continue to enable and communicate new parking alternatives that facilitate the daily lives of citizens, while also developing informative and awareness-raising actions to support this new stage.
