 PARKING HOUSE SUPPORT SCHEME
(PAHOSS)
1. Introduction:
1) Aizawl, the capital of Mizoram is the fastest growing city in the State. It is the political,
commercial, educational and cultural hub of the State. As the administrative centre of the State,
Aizawl houses all important Government offices, including the State Assembly and Secretariat.
The Aizawl city covers an area measuring 129.91 sq. km.
2) The city has attracted considerable economic investment in the previous decade. Growing levels
of in-migration has resulted in rapid urbanization and haphazard development.
3) The transport network of the city is complex due to constraints of the terrain. The urban road
network in the core area is densely inhabited and is typically characterised by limited and non-
expandable road spaces.
4) Aizawl has about 429 km of road in the municipal area. Of the total road network, only 40% of
the roads have Right of Way more than 10m.
5) The spine has a concentration of the trip generating (high density residential functions) and trip
attracting (important offices) land uses along them necessitating every intra-city travel to pass
through it creating continuous congestion.
6) Aizawl has seen a steep increase in vehicle ownership, due to higher incomes, lack of public
transit and investments in non-motorised transport infrastructure. This has overburdened the
existing road network causing extreme congestion on city roads.
7) Development of infrastructures has occurred all along the major roads with negligible scope for
widening.
8) Most of the regional road links pass through the congested urban street network of the town. This
causes interference to both regional and local traffic movements. A few roads stretch that function
as both local and regional linkages have experienced significant growth of vehicular traffic.
9) The topographical conditions do not offer any possibility of creating alternative alignments,
relocation of existing activities at strategic locations is crucial so as to ensure that the parked
vehicles do not become a barrier to vehicle movement.
2. Parking Problems in Aizawl City:
1) The core city of Aizawl is reasonably compact with most of the development along a spinal ridge.
2) All-important destinations are located in the core area of the city and within 500 meters of the
spinal road.
3) Aizawl city is characterised by narrow roads with high to steep gradients and a number of acute
bends and curves responsible for low capacity and speeds on the road networks.
4) Most of the available parking spaces primarily consists of haphazard on-street parking. However,
on-street parking is another important challenge faced by the vehicular traffic and pedestrians on
the constrained road spaces in the city.
5) The city officials have tried to earmark all available road-side space for the increasing parking
demand in the city, trying to organise meagre space into parking lots, trying to balance between
parking for cars and two wheelers, taxis, buses and freight vehicles.
3
 6) The existing number of parking areas in Aizawl city for cars, two-wheelers, LMVs, Maxi cabs
and HMVs has maximum capacity of approximately 4,500 vehicles but actual demand is more
than 18,000.
7) The city roads are extremely congested in the peak-hours. This could be addressed by a
comprehensive and systematic provision of parking in the city, which would require private
participation.
3. Scope:
1) In order to solve the traffic problem due to inadequate parking facility, the Government of
Mizoram formulated a scheme for providing substantial amount of assistance for construction of
