As the city filed it

Toronto Parking Authority operates an extensive inventory of off-street parking facilities that includes 40,000 spaces at over 300 locations. Toronto Parking Authority's 28 indoor parking garages (refer to Appendix A for a list of the garages) offer an opportunity to generate an additional revenue stream through the sale of Out-Of-Home (OOH) Advertising space. Statements Media Inc. (Statements Media) has held the Out-Of-Home advertising rights to Toronto Parking Authority's indoor garages since November 28, 2013, and has sold advertising space using a combination of junior posters (vinyl signs), backlit light boxes and garage takeover activations.
