Parking Rates

The Calgary Parking Authority manages and operates 6,396 on-street stalls and 7,961 stalls in surface lots and parkades. We accept payment by coin or credit card at all locations on-street, in our surface lots and in our parkades. We also offer a payment by cell phone option.

When Calgarians choose to park in CPA facilities, they are choosing to help our city. All surplus funds are returned to the City of Calgary and used to fund operations like libraries, recreational centres and other city services. Last year, the CPA returned $31M (including municipal taxes) to the City of Calgary. On average CPA's rates are 15% lower than the rates charged by its competitors.

In the case of a discrepancy between the rates shown on this site and those displayed at the lot, the rates at the lot shall prevail.

Off-Street Parking Rates

Rates in parkades and surface lots are generally based on 12-hour periods. For example, day rates are from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., and evening rates start from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. Special evening and weekend rates reflect off-peak parking times.

Special Event Space

Throughout the year, the CPA receives many requests from a range of organizations and associations to use our parking lots or parkades for an event. We rent out our facilities for events such as Stampede breakfasts, festivals and other special events.
