Tallinn City Government aims to change the procedure for granting the use of municipal assets to simplify the testing of innovation projects within the urban space.

The Tallinn City Government made a proposal to the City Council to give diplomats who reside in the capital the right to use public transport free of charge. The reason for this is that according to the new regulation coming into force on 1 July, the free parking of diplomatic missions’ vehicles in public parking spaces will be reduced.

Tallinn is implementing additional measures to prevent illegal parking on pavements. The fine will be raised by €40, in several places driving onto pavements will be prevented with posts and landscaping and the municipal police bicycle patrol will also start as a pilot project, targeting primarily parking on bicycle lanes and pavements.

The Tallinn City Government established a care cost limit of 734 euros for general care services and a limit of 70 euros per month for exempting a relative of a service recipient with a lower income from the obligation to pay. This means that as of 1 July, recipients of the service will receive compensation of up to 734 euros for the cost of their nursing home spot and their relatives will be exempted from their co-payment obligation for up to 705 euros.
