Calgarians are closer to having to pay at all park and ride locations in the city.
A report recommending the move narrowly passed at a city committee Wednesday, suggesting a sliding scale structure be put in place, where users of the most in-demand lots pay more than those parking at less busy lots.
It’s likely the new system wouldn’t be implemented until 2018 with rates as low as $10 per month.
Right now, more than 8,000 people are on a waiting list for reserved transit parking with only 6,300 spots available.
The city is also looking into adding more parking sites by partnering with businesses located near CTrain systems.
