In the early days of its establishment, in addition to the Executive Secretarial Unit , the Planning Section, Equipment Section and the Maintenance Corps were also set up, with only 76 staff members being allocated. In 1989, due to the lack of an exclusive unit to handle project tendering, supervision and acceptance inspection, the Public Works Section was also set up, with the number of the staff members increased to 95 in February 1990, as approved by the Executive Yuan.Furthermore, the Traffic Control Center was transferred to the Department of Transportation from the Taipei City Police Department in March 1988. As a result, the authorization and responsibility regarding traffic computer signal control and maintenance items were often confounded between the Traffic Control Center and the TEO. By taking the integrity and requirements of the City’s traffic signal management, supervision and control into account, the Traffic Control Center was assigned under the TEO in October 1992, in order to establish a unified regulatory authority of traffic affairs. In addition, as ratified and modified in accordance with the Official Document (1993) Kao-Tai-Mi-Wen No. 0156 issued by the Examination Yuan on January 16, 1993, concerning organization rules and staff quota, staff numbers increased to 110. Thereafter, due to the increase in traffic control equipment year by year, computerized control became the mainstream, and the organizational structure of the Office was modified in 1998, to include the addition of a Systems Analyst, a Systems Designer and an Assistant Systems Designer while the three posts of Sub-section Chiefs were added and concurrently taken by existing Systems Analysts, in order to meet the substantial qualitative and quantitative changes in the tasks of the Traffic Control Center, establish a good command system and enhance the functions of the traffic control system.On the other hand, given that the Maintenance Corps was responsible for around-the-clock year round maintenance, as well as pipeline maintenance of the traffic control facilities affiliated to road engineering, the concurrent post of the Supervisor was changed to an official full-time post, in order to provide better facilitation with relevant engineering units and enhance technician management. In conjunction with the aforesaid added post, an Associate Engineer and a Systems Coordinator were eliminated. After the adjustment, total staff numbered 112.Afterwards, with the Equipment Section being responsible for the planning and designing of the signs, markings, signals, safety equipment and channelization works, etc, of the City’s 12 administrative districts, the control of the Intelligent Transportation System being promoted by the Traffic Control Center, as well as the reinforcement of around-the-clock shift operation, three Assistant Engineers, a Junior Engineer, an Engineer, a Systems Analyst, a Systems Designer, a Systems Coordinator, an Assistant Systems Coordinator, and a Section Assistant were added. At the same time, the post of the Deputy Chief was added and concurrently taken by the Engineer, whereas five Senior Clerks were promoted to Assistants. After the adjustment, staff numbers reached 122, which was ratified by the Examination Yuan on April 13, 2009.

In 1993 coordinated establishment of the Taipei Municipal government various institutions politics wind chamber, because this place not tenable politics wind chamber, deletion human affairs assistant 1 person, sum total complement 57 people. On September 9, 1996, increased activity in each section prompted the 7th Taipei City Council to pass organization amendment No. 85060344 in the 4th meeting of its 17th temporary session. This amendment allowed the agency to expand to 4 sections and 4 offices with a total staff of 74 persons. With the rapid expansion of the Office's responsibilities, the organization's operations encountered inefficiencies. The Office had proposed an organization rectification, noted as city parking report No. 896322000, to be discussed in the city government's 4th organization revision meeting in 2001. Base on the conclusion of the meeting, the Office was to determine the manpower needed if commissioned to the private sector, and to report back for further discussion. At that time, the city government was planning on adjusting its charter and recruiting additional officials to fill realistic needs; therefore the Office renamed itself the Parking Management and Development Office and renamed each section and office according to their functions. During that time, an additional section, the Electrical Engineering Section, was established with an initial staff of 26 persons. On January 18, 2008, the 10th Taipei City Council passed an amendment directing the formation of 5 new sections and 4 offices manned by a total of 100 staff members. This was done in the Council's 5th meeting of its 5th session and subsequently announced on June 29, 2008 as city law report No. 09731601300.The major tasks of the Office include: proposing city parking strategies; planning roadside parking; controlling public off-street parking construction schemes; carrying out confiscation of land and compensation for ground/underground structure demolition for parking lot construction projects; establishing temporary parking lots on spare land; reinforcing the utilization of public space for multiple purposes; reviewing cases of incentives for private investment in parking lot construction; previewing designs of parking lot projects for construction licenses; maintaining information systems as well as utility, fire protection and fee collection systems; overseeing public paid parking lot operations and associated managerial tasks such as tickets and certificates, revenue, statistics and analysis; overseeing the transfer of parking lot operation, supervision and inspection; overseeing parking business registration, management, arbitration, business commission plans, fee collection and management of public roadside parking and off-street parking; reporting parking violation vehicles; and commissioning private towing businesses.      [][][][]Taipei City Parking Management and Development Office
