PORTALJABAR, GARUT REGENCY - The Garut Regency Government (Pemdakab) continues to strive to organize the parking system in urban areas by presenting new uniforms for official parking attendants (jukir).

Deputy Regent (Wabup) of Garut Putri Karlina, symbolically handed over the uniform in front of the BRI Garut Branch Office, Monday (24/3/2025).

This new uniform not only serves as an official parking attendant identity, but also features a typical Garut design with a touch of batik in its motif.

Head of the Garut Regency Transportation Agency, Satria Budi, emphasized that this uniform has unique characteristics that differentiate it from parking attendant uniforms on the market.

This uniform is dominated by orange with batik accents as its characteristic. Different from the usual parking attendant uniforms found in the field, this design is specially made and not freely available.

"First, orange has batik, the characteristic is batik, which at the moment is sold a lot outside, but God willing, this one doesn't exist," he said.

Putri explained that the distribution of these uniforms aims to distinguish official parking attendants recognized by the government from illegal parking attendants. A total of 275 uniforms were distributed to parking attendants in urban areas.

Putri reminded that the public has the right to refuse to pay for parking if the parking attendant who collects the fee is not wearing this official uniform, especially if the area is not included in the target parking area determined by the government.

Putri emphasized that the regulation of illegal parking attendants is very important to create comfort for the community and support UMKM actors. With more orderly parking, the community is no longer burdened with high parking rates in unofficial locations.

"That's why for all cities first, and later it will definitely spread to all, we want to regulate so that MSMEs will also be fresh again if the community is comfortable parking," he said.

With this distinctive batik uniform, the Garut District Government hopes to create a unique identity for official parking attendants while preserving the cultural heritage of Garut batik.
