Calgary Transit offers commuters
110 four-hour parking spaces within 10 minutes transit
travel to the downtown.
The amount of short term, four hour
parking at four Calgary Transit park and ride lots has
been increased by converting some existing all day
parking to short-term spaces.
-
Franklin
Station (northeast CTrain),
-
39th
Avenue Station (south CTrain),
-
Banff Trail
/ McMahon Stadium Station (northwest CTrain)
-
Bow Tr / 45 Street SW
These lots have been chosen for this
program because of their proximity to the downtown
core and the fact that these lots generally have unused
parking stalls after the a.m. peak period and therefore,
will pose the least inconvenience for long stay park and
ride users.
Each of the four lots provides
30-35 four-hour parking stalls. Through this initiative,
Calgary Transit provides midday/off peak
transit travel to and from the downtown for business
meetings, shopping and other short term activities.
Parking for free and taking transit
saves time, money, the frustration of traffic congestion
and finding a pricey parking spot downtown. As well, the
four-hour stalls provide added capacity to the
limited supply of downtown parking stalls.
To ensure compliance with the parking
restriction, customers parking in the short-term stalls
are required to obtain a time stamp ticket from a
centrally located machine and place it on the dash of
their car. This free ticket is for enforcement by the
Calgary Parking Authority only - customers will not be
charged for using the new four-hour parking stalls.
