UTILITY OVERVIEW PARKING AUTHORITY

MISSION STATEMENT To provide a range of parking options and choices for resident, business and transit needs, and effectively manage the demand for on and off-street parking facilities in an innovative and cost effective manner. As well, to develop policy and infrastructure support of new mobility technologies such as Electric Vehicles, Automated Vehicles, and micro-mobility options. KEY PROGRAM AND SERVICES The Parking Authority Utility is a self-funded program that involves planning, managing and regulating the City’s on and off-street parking assets, employing leading edge technologies such as license plate recognition and mobile payment options. All aspects of parking are handled through this team including the development of parking standards, parking signage, pay parking, parking lot enforcement, and the City’s Electric Vehicle (“EV”) charging network.
