| Parking Rates
The City of Ottawa has approximately 3500
on-street and 400 off-street parking meters. An information plate inside the
meter dome gives you details about parking restrictions, time limits and the
hours when parking is free. On-street, the dome colour and surrounding signs
will give you additional information about time limits. Off-street, signs
displaying rates and hours of operation are posted in every municipal lot. All
parking meters accept 25˘, $1.00, $2.00 coins and the City of Ottawa Parking
Card as methods of payment. Parking rates are 25˘ for 6 minutes at all on-street
meters and 25˘ for 10 minutes in all metered lots.
Note: Free parking is available on weekends at City lots and meters located
within the downtown core. This area is bounded by Elgin Street to Bronson Avenue
and Wellington Street to Catherine Street.
The City of Ottawa operates several parking lots. All lots, enclosed or
unenclosed, are identified with signs carrying the City of Ottawa logo and a
white 'P' on a green background - the international symbol for public parking.
All municipally operated parking lots offer long and short-term parking, while
select lots offer monthly parking.
Generally, short-term rates at downtown parking facilities are 50˘ for 12
minutes, with the exception of the facility at 141 Clarence Street: 50˘ for 20
minutes. Short-term parking rates and monthly parking fees, which are set by
City Council, vary depending on the location of the parking facility. All
parking rates are subject to change.
