Consultation has concluded

The Winnipeg Parking & Mobility Strategy is a plan for how we manage:

  • On-street and off-street parking.
  • Space along the street (also called the curbside).
  • Mobility services, like taxis, ridesharing and carsharing.

The strategy has three goals:

  1. Balance the use of curbside space to help people move around, access the places they need, and support the city as it grows.
  2. Promote transportation options that are more sustainable.
  3. Keep improving parking services.

    The Winnipeg Parking Strategy outlines a series of progressive parking concepts and business practices used in other North American cities.   Examples include:

    Policy/Practice

    What is it?

    Dynamic Pricing (also known as ‘demand-responsive pricing’)

    Dynamic pricing refers to technology-enabled systems wherein parking rates are adjusted based on changes in demand and the available supply in order to achieve a specific goal such as maintaining a desired occupancy level or maximizing revenue.

    Progressive Pricing

    Progressive pricing refers to a price structure that favours short-term users and encourages turnover by increasing the rate the longer a user is parked in a space.

    Progressive Parking Fines

    Progressive parking fines refer to a structure wherein fines for subsequent occurrences of the same offence increase. Progressive fines discourage repeat offenders without adversely affecting the vast majority of drivers who attempt to adhere to the parking by-law provisions.

    Parking Benefit Districts

    In parking benefit districts, a portion of the revenue collected from hourly parking and permit fees is dedicated to infrastructure or programming within

    the district. These may include public realm improvements such as street beautification, sidewalk and street repair, or safety and security measures.

    Removal of Parking Minimums/ Implementation of Parking Maximums

    Parking minimums are the government-mandated requirements for different land uses to include a set amount of parking for a given variable such as square footage or number of residents. By removing these minimums, governments allow developers to assess the demand for parking and to include only the optimal amount.

    Dedicated ‘Green’ Parking

    ‘Green’ parking refers to spaces being dedicated for low or zero greenhouse gas emission vehicles. Dedicated parking provisions encourage low emission transportation choices by providing preferred parking as an incentive for

    electric vehicles, motorcycles, scooters, carshares etc.
