The Calgary Parking Authority (CPA) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the City of Calgary that manages public parking infrastructure throughout the city. CPA operates parkades, surface lots, on-street parking, and enforcement services. As a self-funded entity, CPA generates revenue from parking fees and enforcement fines rather than relying on property taxes. The organization also manages parking technology and increasingly supports mobility initiatives beyond traditional vehicle parking. CPA's approach to parking management affects transportation patterns, downtown accessibility, and urban development. Parking policy decisions balance revenue generation with goals for transit use, pedestrian activity, and economic development.
