Maybe I’m not seeing the big picture here. Parking in Kyiv?

I keep my eye on business activity related to logistics in interesting places around the world.  I stay in touch with friends, cruise some websites, and have some subscription based alerts set up.  Today I came across a logistics opportunity funded by the US government related to logistics in Ukraine.  I pulled up the RFP issued by USAID on January 12.

The project would require the contractor to “work closely with the mayor's staff [in Kyiv] and USAID to analyze the current parking environment, prepare an assessment of the current conditions, and provide options to improve the parking payment infrastructure, administration, and relevant legislation. The assessment and options should also look at the supply and demand for parking as well as the financial position (rates, collections, administration) of the city's parking administration.”

Now, given everything that is going on in that part of the world, I’m not sure that I would prioritize figuring out the "current parking environment" in Kyiv as the transportation problem that matters.  I think trying to deal with the Russian troops running around in the east killing Ukrainians or supplying Ukrainian troops in battle might be a little more important, but what do I know.

Like I said, maybe I’m not seeing the big picture here.  There are 87 parking meters in Kyiv.
