About this service

Description

In the VoiTas heavy exercise groups that are free-of-charge, beginners over the age of 75 improve their fitness through strength and balance training.

Increased muscle strength helps to improve your functional capacity, making everyday chores and mobility easier. The class instructor is a physiotherapist or a sports professional. The aim is that after the classes end, you will be able to continue to train independently regularly at a location you have agreed on together with the instructor.

About this service

Description

Kaupunki siirtää tarvittaessa ajoneuvoja esimerkiksi katualueiden kunnossapidon mahdollistamiseksi. Voimme siirtää ajoneuvon kaupungin varastoon tai läheiselle mahdolliselle pysäköintipaikalle. Myös hylätyt ajoneuvot siivotaan pois yleisiltä alueilta. Isännöitsijät voivat ilmoittaa yksityisille alueille jätetyistä kunnossapitoa haittaavista tai väärin pysäköidyistä ajoneuvoista. Ajoneuvon omistaja vastaa siirron ja säilyttämisen aiheuttamista kuluista. Ajoneuvojen siirtoja voi suorittaa vain toimivaltainen viranomainen ajoneuvojen siirtämisestä koskevan lain perusteella.

How to use it

### Mahdollisia syitä, miksi autoni on siirretty? * Auto on pysäköity virheellisesti * Auto on haitannut kadun/katujen kunnossapitoa ja puhtaanapitoa. * Ajoneuvoa ei käytetä tosiasiallisesti liikenteessä. * Ajoneuvo luokitellaan romuajoneuvoksi. * Ajoneuvo on vaarantanut liikenneturvallisuuden (poliisin siirtämä). * Ajoneuvo on ollut pysäköitynä siirtokehotusalueella. ### Miten saan tietää autoni siirrosta? * Omistajalle lähetetään tieto postitse * Mikäli omistaja ei ole tiedossa, siirto kuulutetaan Turun kaupungin julkisten kuulutusten ilmoitustaululla (Puolalankatu 5) ja Turun kaupungin kuulutukset -verkkosivuilla. ### Mihin autoni on siirretty? * Kaupungin välivarastoon tai, mikäli mahdollista. * lähisiirtona esimerkiksi viereiselle kadulle. ### Miten varastoon siirretyn ajoneuvon saa takaisin? Ajoneuvon voi lunastaa kahden kuukauden sisällä siirtopäätöksen saantipäivästä, kun seuraavat ehdot täyttyvät: * Siirtokustannukset on maksettu. * Säilytyskustannukset on maksettu. * Maksut voi suorittaa (vain pankkikorttimaksu) myös varastolla lunastuksen yhteydessä. Lisäksi: * Kun lunastaa ajoneuvoa, hakijan on näytettävä maksukuitti ja henkilöllisyystodistus. * Hakijan on esitettävä valtakirja, mikäli ajoneuvo on rekisteröity toisen henkilön tai yrityksen nimiin. * Korvauspäätöksen saa ottamalla yhteyden ajoneuvosiirtoihin osoitteessa Puolalankatu 5 (1. krs.). * Ajoneuvon lunastusajankohta tulee sopia etukäteen. ### Milloin siirretty auto täytyy lunastaa? Omistajan täytyy lunastaa ajoneuvo kahden kuukauden sisällä kuulutuspäivämäärästä. Mikäli omistaja ei lunasta ajoneuvoaan kahden kuukauden sisällä, ajoneuvojen omistusoikeus siirtyy Turun kaupungille. ### Mikä on lähisiirto? Lähisiirrossa ajoneuvo siirretään esimerkiksi kadun toiselle puolelle tai muualle lähistölle. Lähisiirto voidaan tehdä, kun: * ajoneuvo haittaa tai estää kunnossapitoa, puhtaanapitoa tai kadulla tehtäviä muita töitä. * katualue on saatava tyhjäksi jonkin tapahtuman vuoksi. * ajoneuvon omistaja tai haltija ei ole noudattanut kadun varteen laitettua siirtokehotusmerkkiä. * siirtokehotusmerkit asetetaan kyseiselle kadulle vähintään 2 vuorokautta aikaisemmin. ### ### Miten ilmoitan käyttämättömästä ajoneuvosta tai romusta? Voit tehdä ilmoituksen sähköpostitse Turun kaupunkiympäristön palvelukokonaisuuden ajoneuvosiirtoyksikköön ajoneuvosiirrot@turku.fi Viestistä olisi hyvä ilmetä ainakin seuraavat tiedot: * ilmoittaja. * ajoneuvon tarkka sijainti. * merkki, malli, väri ja rekisterinumero (jos on). * kuinka pitkään ajoneuvo on ollut käyttämättä.

Fee details

Ajoneuvon omistaja maksaa siirron kustannukset. ### Ajoneuvon siirto varastoon virka-aikana (arkisin kello 7–18): * Siirto sekä säilytys (7vrk) 253,50 €. * Viikon jälkeen maksuun lisätään 52,00 € alkavalta viikolta. ### Lähisiirto * Arkena klo 7–18 suoritettu lähisiirto 149,50 €. * Lähisiirto on maksuton, jos ajoneuvo on ollut oikein pysäköitynä kyseiselle paikalle jo ennen siirtokehotusmerkkien pystyttämistä. Mikäli ajoneuvo siirretään virka-ajan ulkopuolella, siirtokustannukset ovat tavallista suuremmat.
