The City of Toronto is desperate to find new sources of revenue. Why not stop the insanity with respect to Accessible Parking Permits (APP)?
“A permit holder or driver (operating a vehicle for the purpose of transporting an accessible permit holder) who displays a valid accessible parking permit is entitled to the following exemptions:
- Signed prohibited parking areas (this includes time restricted areas only between the hours of 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.) No exemptions exist during the rush hour periods between 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Further non-exemptions apply, please see below.
- Signed on-street permit parking areas. Vehicles displaying a valid parking permit are permitted to park without a designated on-street parking permit
- Signed parking limits such as one hour and two hour maximums; holders are allowed to exceed the signed maximum parking limit
- Unsigned maximum three-hour parking limit in effect on all city streets
- Holders may park at on-street parking meters or pay and display machines without putting a coin in the meter/machine during the hours of legal operation. Note: Exemption does not apply to off-street parking meters/machines (ie. on private property or in Green P parking lots).“

APP holders should be required to have a street parking permit for overnight parking. Temporary permits are available online.
APP holders should pay for parking. We are no longer in the age of coins and parking meters. If an APP holder is required to pay in a Green P lot, why would street parking (using the Green P app) be any different?
The level of manipulation with respect to APPs is out of control.
