The Councilor for Sustainable Development and Huerta, Antonio Navarro, the president of the Parking Association of Murcia and the representatives of 13 parking, presented this morning the agreement that seeks to promote sustainable mobility in the municipality.

One of the main agreements is that electric motorcycles or vehicles with a DGT label with a '0 Emissions' label can park one hour for free in different public car parks as of today.

In addition, all of them have a charging point and reserved and signposted places for this type of vehicles.

All these parking spaces have reserved parking spaces for these types of vehicles and at least one electric vehicle charging point.

Some of these actions have been carried out thanks to the subsidy program to promote sustainable mobility and energy saving in the municipality carried out in 2019.
