Here’s a breakdown of every parking dollar ($1) spent with the TPA

The TPA began with five parking lots containing about 700 spaces and today provides 20,000 off-street spaces in 150 facilities including 19 parking garages, as well as 17,500 on-street spaces controlled by pay-and-display machines or meters.

The TPA is the largest municipal parking operator in North America

The TPA manages, on behalf of the Toronto Transit Commission, 12,500 spaces at their park and ride facilities and parking areas on behalf of the City’s Parks and Recreation Department.

75% of the TPA’s net profit is returned to the City as a dividend into the city’s general reserves.
