Furthermore, 93 percent of projects were delivered on or under budget, 89 percent met their scope targets, resulting in a favorable cost variance of $2.37 million. Critically, the State of Good Repair (SOGR) program experienced no safety incidents, underscoring our commitment to maintaining a safe working environment. Organizationally, the Toronto Parking Authority has strengthened its capital planning, delivery, and funding processes by adopting a proactive long-term approach to capital management. Capital initiatives were rigorously assessed through the lens of Strategic Imperatives, Enterprise Risk Management (ERM), our Annual Operating Plans (AOP), Asset Management Plan (AMP) and our Net Income Share commitments to the City of Toronto. This comprehensive evaluation allowed Toronto Parking Authority to prioritize and effectively execute the capital program while gaining a thorough understanding of associated risks and opportunities, ultimately ensuring optimized financial performance and resource allocation. As part of the 2025 budget process, management successfully secured Board approval for an investment of $55.6 million in the 2025 Capital Plan, positioning the Toronto Parking Authority for continued growth and innovation.
