Accessible Parking Awareness Campaign

Each year, the Calgary Parking Authority runs an Accessible Parking Awareness campaign to educate Calgarians on accessible parking issues.

Thursday, November 10th, 2016 was proclaimed, by Mayor Naheed Nenshi, "Accessible Parking Awareness Day".

This awareness campaign spans the month of December, ending on the 31st and focuses on educating Calgarians about the importance of leaving designated accessible stalls available for individuals who have a permit to use them.

Calgarians who are part of the Facebook and Twitter community will see CPA sponsored posts sharing reminders to avoid accessible stalls at all times if they aren't legally entitled to use them. Join the discussion and share our reminders with your online community.

The Calgary Parking Authority is committed to meeting the needs of ALL our customers and asks you to do your part and not park in these stalls without a permit.

Curb the Tickets

Knowing which parking stalls are accessible parking only has become easier. Curbs alongside designated on-street accessible parking stalls in 20 downtown locations have been painted bright blue.

"Curb the Tickets" was launched in 2014 to help make accessible stalls easily identifiable to motorists with the goal of ensuring these spaces are available for people who are permitted to use them. We are also hoping that the bright blue curbs help reduce the number of tickets issued to other drivers by visually alerting them to the fact that these stalls are only available for vehicles displaying either a valid parking placard or a designated licence plate.
