Parking Permit

Play by the Rules

So many people wonder - how can we stop the abuse of accessible parking spaces? Sadly, many offenders are legitimate permit holders who misuse their permit. Please know the rules and play by them!

A person commits an offense under Division 38 of the Motor Vehicles Act pertaining to Disabled Persons' Parking Permits if he or she:

 

  • Makes a false statement on an application;

  • Mutilates, defaces, or alters a permit

  • Lends or transfers a permit to another person, whether or not that person is disabled

  • Continues to use their permit past the expiry date

  • Stops, leaves standing, or parks in a designated accessible parking zone but is not transporting a person with a disability, yet displays a valid parking permit

  • Stops, leaves standing, or parks in a designated accessible parking zone a vehicle that does not display a valid parking permit, or a permit of similar nature issued by another jurisdiction
