Amersfoort Delays Next Phases of Paid Parking, Sets New Rollout Dates

The move prioritizes clear permit rules over speed after early confusion.

Overview

  • City leaders paused further implementation to address questions from residents and businesses, according to mobility alderman Tyas Bijlholt.
  • New timeline shifts Soesterkwartier, Isselt, Eemkwartier and Jeruzalem from 1 February 2026 to 1 October 2026.
  • Liendert still transitions on 1 October 2026 due to planned works, while Randenbroek, Rustenburg and Amersfoort Zuid move to 1 May 2027.
  • Procedure changes ensure residents and entrepreneurs learn their permit eligibility before any application window opens.
  • Issues flagged in the first phase included parking‑app errors and concerns over shopping‑area costs; the city has introduced clearer signage, proposed tariff adjustments, and will hold spring information sessions with drop‑in support.
