In Mykolaiv, the city budget will receive 147,434 hryvnias in six months of paid parking. At the same time, the municipal enterprise Timeset earned 5,226 hryvnias from parking.

This was reported to NikVesti by the executive committee of the Mykolaiv City Council in response to an information request.

There are currently 11 paid parking lots in Mykolaiv, which began operating in July 2025.

According to the city council, in July-September 2025 (third quarter), the company transferred 74,068.81 hryvnias to the city budget. Another 73,365.61 hryvnias for October-December 2025 (fourth quarter) are to be transferred to the budget in January-February 2026.

The city council specified that all funds received from paid parking are not earmarked for a specific purpose. They are credited to the general budget fund and used for the general needs of the city.

At the same time, the company bears the costs of maintaining the car parks. Thus, in July–December 2025 , 196,100 hryvnias was spent on maintaining the sites . Of this amount, 172,000 hryvnias was spent on cleaning, 21,700 hryvnias on the manufacture and installation of information stands, and another 2,400 hryvnias on the creation of QR codes.

Separately, the TimeSet municipal enterprise paid 150,570 hryvnias for the maintenance of the software used to operate paid parking lots. The company also deducts 3% from each online payment made through the EasyPay service — over six months, this amounted to 25,095 hryvnias.

The city council reported that the municipal enterprise Timeset has already submitted proposals for the construction of additional paid parking lots in Mykolaiv. However, the exact locations of the planned parking lots have not been specified.

What about parking in Mykolaiv?

It is known that 11 paid parking areas have been officially approved in the city, with a total of 119 parking spaces. Due to the installation of bollards on sidewalks and parking lots, the number of free spaces has decreased. Mayor Oleksandr Sienkevych said he was satisfied with the new traffic organisation on Vadym Blahovisnyi Street (Nikolska) in the centre of Mykolaiv.

During the summer of 2025, the sites brought the Time Set municipal enterprise 111,400 hryvnias in revenue, which will be transferred to the city budget after mandatory payments are made.

However, Andrii Yantar, a deputy from the Propozytsia party, criticises the system, noting that it does not improve comfort for residents and creates additional problems.

In addition, in 2025, the city budget received about 4 million hryvnias for illegal parking.
