The Municipal State-Owned Institution "Nizhny Novgorod Traffic Management Center" (MKU TsODD) is a city agency responsible for traffic management and the administration of municipal parking in Nizhny Novgorod. The institution reports to the city administration.

Tasks and Activities

TsODD's main tasks include organizing parking space and reducing congestion on the street and road network. The institution introduces parking restrictions and bans on individual sections of city roads — in particular, as of November 27, parking and stopping were banned on the driveway at building No. 6 on Yuzhnoye Highway to eliminate obstructions to traffic.[1]

TsODD oversees the operation of municipal paid parking lots. The first paid parking lot in the city opened on Rozhdestvenskaya Street in mid-April in a trial mode, and on September 1 the parking lots switched to regular operation. During the trial period, 70 to 100 violators were recorded daily; after it ended, the fine for non-payment ranges from 1,000 to 2,000 rubles. Monitoring on Rozhdestvenskaya is carried out by the municipal parking operator, with data sent to servers every 15 minutes and checked against payment records.[2]

Parking fees can be paid in several ways: by bank card and transit card, via SMS, and through a mobile app. The institution monitored the operation of the parking lots on Rozhdestvenskaya Street and on Revolution Square (near Moscow Railway Station) jointly with the Nizhny Novgorod branch of PJSC Rostelecom.[2] The stated goal of paid parking is to bring order to parking space: to create turnover of spaces in areas with a high concentration of offices and cultural venues.[2]

In December 2026, TsODD opened two new parking zones on the territory of Strelka — near the ice arena and the concert and exhibition halls. According to the institution, the goal is to improve transport accessibility to Strelka's popular venues and reduce the load on the road network.[2] Over the first three quarters of 2026, the city budget received 82.4 million rubles from paid parking; from January to October of the same year, 161,019 citations totaling 345.1 million rubles were issued for non-payment of parking.

Authority

In May 2016, Dmitry Viktorovich Brylin (born January 14, 1971, in Gorky) was appointed director of MKU TsODD. He was officially introduced in the new position by the head of the Nizhny Novgorod administration, Sergey Belov, at the weekly operational meeting on May 23, 2016; he took up his duties on May 18 on the basis of a city administration resolution of the same date.[3][4]

Brylin graduated from Nizhny Novgorod State Technical University in 1993 with a degree in internal combustion engines, and from the Nizhny Novgorod Law Academy in 2003 with a degree in jurisprudence. He has served in the internal affairs bodies since July 1993; from February 2016 he held the post of deputy head of the road supervision department of the traffic police directorate of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Nizhny Novgorod Region.[4]

Brylin's predecessor as director was Pavel Pomelov, who submitted a letter of resignation of his own accord in March 2016.[3]
