2025 August 31 Year-to-Date Financial Performance (First Eight Months Results)
At its meeting on September 25, 2025, the Toronto Parking Authority - Audit and Risk Management Committee considered Item PR11.1 and made recommendations to the Board of Directors of the Toronto Parking Authority. Summary from the report (September 9, 2025) from the President, Toronto Parking Authority: Toronto Parking Authority's (TPA) net income for the eight months ending August 31, 2025, was $34.7 million; +$5.6 million versus plan and +$3.9 million versus 2024. Total revenue reached $118.8 million, -$0.6 million versus plan; +$9.9 million or 9% higher than 2024. Bike Share ridership exceeded 5.1 million trips, and the Toronto Island launch contributed a favourable revenue impact of $1.7 million. This was offset by softness in Parking revenues of $1.1 million driven by 1.4 million fewer trips than the prior year. The snow event in February impacted 371 thousand fewer trips, a $1.7 million decrease in revenue in part due to the closure of 47% of our on-street inventory for snow removal. Excluding the February event, trips were down by 1.0 million, or 2.3%, compared to 2024. Total operating costs were $76.3 million; $3.5 million lower than plan driven by disciplined cost management of discretionary costs and head count; as well as net favourability on municipal taxes and volume driven costs. Finance income was $2.4 million, comparable to plan, while amortization of assets was $10.1 million; -$2.8 million lower due to timing of capital delivery. As of August 31, 2025, Toronto Parking Authority has invested $23.6 million in capital projects, with over 70% of that amount already committed. The organization remains on track to deliver $51.9 million or 95% of TPA led capital plan, bolstered by $20.8 million in direct funding from the City of Toronto for Bike Share and Electric Vehicle (EV) initiatives. This positions Toronto Parking Authority to achieve a capital spend rate exceeding 80% for the third consecutive year. Management remains on track to meet full-year 2025 performance targets, with projected net income in the range of $44 million to $47 million-exceeding plan by $2 million to $5 million.

2026 Operating Budget and 2026-2028 Capital Budget
At its meeting on September 25, 2025, the Toronto Parking Authority - Audit and Risk Management Committee considered Item PR11.2 and made recommendations to the Board of Directors of the Toronto Parking Authority. Summary from the report (September 9, 2025) from the President, Toronto Parking Authority: The purpose of this report is to provide the Audit and Risk Management Committee of the Board of Directors of Toronto Parking Authority with an overview of Management's proposed 2026 Operating Budget and the 2026-2028 Capital Budget submission to the City of Toronto. Consistent with previous years, a detailed review of management's proposed budget will be conducted with the Audit & Risk Management Committee on November 14, 2025. Formal approval of the 2026 Operating Budget and the 2026-2028 Capital Budget will be requested at the Board meeting scheduled for December 5, 2025. At that time, Management will also present the 2026 Annual Operating Plan for the Toronto Parking Authority (TPA). This timeline ensures that both the Board and Management have sufficient opportunity to thoroughly review and discuss the proposed budgets and Annual Operating Plan, while remaining aligned with the City's overall budgetary process. Building off a strong performance through the first two quarters of 2025, Management is forecasting full year net income of $45.5 million which is +$3.6 million better than Plan. Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) forecast of $57.9 million is -$2.9 million versus plan. Revenues are forecasted at a historic high of $177.3 million which is -$5.4 million versus plan driven by soft transaction performance in our parking portfolio. This was due in part to the lengthy snow event in February that closed 47% of our on-street inventory for snow removal resulting in 371 thousand fewer transactions. The Bike Share system drove favourable revenues of $1.6 million in 2025 which has mitigated in part some of the parking softness. Operating expenses are forecasted at $119.4 million which is $2.4 million lower than plan driven by disciplined cost management of discretionary costs and head count partially offset by favourability on municipal taxes and volume-related costs. Toronto Parking Authority 2025 capital delivery of $52.6 million includes expanding Bike Share Toronto across all 25 wards and the Toronto Islands, adding 750 bikes and 180 stations. To improve revenue performance at off-street facilities, management is advancing the EV charging network with 86 new chargers, increasing the total to 547 citywide. Investments also focused on reducing the State of Good Repair (SOGR) backlog through targeted car park upgrades. Additional service enhancements include modernization of equipment, customer experience, and data insights. These initiatives are guided by our multi-year capital strategy which supports our strategic priorities.
The Board of Directors of the Toronto Parking Authority: 1. Received the 2026 Operating Budget and 2026-2028 Capital Budget report as outlined in Attachment 1 to the report (September 9, 2025) from the President, Toronto Parking Authority for information.

At its meeting on September 25, 2025, the Toronto Parking Authority - Audit and Risk Management Committee considered Item PR11.5 and made recommendations to the Board of Directors of the Toronto Parking Authority. Summary from the report (September 11, 2025) from the President, Toronto Parking Authority: The purpose of this paper is to deliver Management's semi-annual update regarding our Cyber security posture including efforts to mitigate threats and risks to the Toronto Parking Authority. For context, the Cyber threat landscape continues to be a clear and present danger to organizations across the globe. Adversaries have grown their sophistication and frequency of attacks to unprecedented levels. For the Toronto Parking Authority (TPA), this heightened threat environment has required the organization to heighten its vigilance in defence of our business. As detailed in our Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) strategy, Cyber Security has been identified as one of the preeminent risks to the Toronto Parking Authority. The threat environment facing the TPA has evolved from technical vulnerabilities to an existential business risk. The evidence is unequivocal: in an era of nefarious adversaries leveraging AI-enabled threats, our cyber resilience will define our capacity to defend and protect our operational continuity, stakeholder confidence, and brand reputation. As we accelerate our digital transformation-from integrated customer payment systems across our portfolio to AI supported business analytics-it is incumbent upon Management to institutionalize Cyber Security into the operating culture of the TPA including continued IT investments, employee upskilling, leadership development and critically, continued strategic oversight by the Executive team and Board. The confidential attachment accompanying this report outlines our investments and security enhancements critical to maintaining our defensive posture. Given the sensitive nature of these matters, this presentation will be held in a closed session.

Directed that the confidential information contained in Confidential Attachment 1 and Confidential Attachment 2 to the report (September 11, 2025) from the President, Toronto Parking Authority remain confidential in its entirety, as it involves the security of property belonging to the City or one of its agencies or corporations.

Bike Share Engagement Plan Update
This report provides the Board of Directors of the Toronto Parking Authority (TPA) with an update on management's stakeholder engagement process in support of the development of our new multi-year strategy for Bike Share Toronto (BST). Consultations with customers, current Bike Share Toronto members, stakeholders, and City Councillors revealed a common theme; specifically, not whether Bike Share Toronto should continue to expand, but rather how Bike Share Toronto can act as a catalyst to create a cycling movement across the city. This emerging mission is crystallizing into a new bold aspiration - namely to mobilize a million new unique riders and create a Bike Share system that changes the way residents travel across the City. Stakeholder workshops have identified six key areas of focus for the new strategy: Mobilizing our 40,000+ members as ambassadors to build a cycling movement. Foster youth adoption to create the next generation of cycling enthusiasts. Accelerate fleet and station electrification to maximize accessibility and reach. Expand Network Growth & Densification in both high-demand and underserved neighborhoods. Provide new payment options to encourage Bike Share adoption and seamlessly integrate with the TTC and Metrolinx. Strengthen first/last-mile transit connections. Our emerging strategy will build upon Bike Share's foundation of strong customer satisfaction, operational excellence and value for money while integrating the priorities described above. In addition to public consultations, Management has also leveraged industry best practices from other jurisdictions including evaluation of different operating models that will best support our growth ambitions. In summary, these insights and supporting studies will guide investment priorities, operating models, and long-term program objectives as the strategy advances toward completion and review by the Toronto Parking Authority's Board of Directors in December 2025.

Contract Award 2025-CON-CP52-D3060 Vent Shaft Repairs at 40 York Street (Car Park 52)
As part of the Toronto Parking Authority's (TPA) ongoing State of Good Repair (SOGR) strategy to ensure continued safe operations of existing parking facilities, Toronto Parking Authority must undertake emergency vent shaft repairs at Car Park 52 located at 40 York Street. This emergency work aligns with Toronto Parking Authority's established State of Good Repair process and reflects our continued commitment to proactive infrastructure maintenance and public safety. The purpose of this paper is to seek authorization from the Board of Directors, Toronto Parking Authority, to award Structural Contracting Ltd. for the vent shaft repair project located at 40 York Street (Car Park 52) valued at $1,493,355.00 in base scope, plus $113,850.00 in provisional items, plus $500,000.00 as a contingency allowance, being the sum total of $2,107,205.00 excluding Harmonized Sales Tax (HST). In late 2023, significant deterioration was found in Toronto Parking Authority's section of a shared vent shaft with TTC on the east sidewalk of University Avenue. Toronto Parking Authority launched emergency repairs, including shoring in the parking garage and TTC space below, street hoarding around the vent grating, and removal of loose concrete. Toronto Parking Authority retained the Sense Engineering (GTA) Ltd. to develop the detailed repair strategy and manage procurement and contract administration processes. A competitive procurement process was conducted, resulting in five (5) compliant bids. Following evaluation, Structural Contracting Ltd. is recommended for contract award under 2025-CON-CP52-D3060 - Vent Shaft Repairs at Car Park 52 (CP52). Construction is scheduled to begin in Q4 2025, with anticipated completion by Q3 2026.

Contract Award - Distributed Antenna System Cell Phone Repeater
This report seeks the approval of the Board of Directors of Toronto Parking Authority (TPA) to award a contract for the implementation of new inbuilding Distributed Antenna System (DAS) cell phone repeater systems at the following eight (8) car parks: Car Park 13: 20 Delisle Avenue Car Park 36: 110 Queen Street West Car Park 42: 91 Via Italia Car Park 49: 30 Roehampton Car Park 52: 40 York Street Car Park 58: 9 Bedford Road Car Park 125: 323 Richmond Street East Car Park 261: 45 Abell Street This initiative is part of the Toronto Parking Authority's ongoing commitment to deliver a superior customer experience in our parking facilities, emphasizing convenience, reliability, and operational excellence. Site selection was based on comprehensive signal strength assessments conducted in Q4 2024, which identified locations with average signal levels below -105 dBm, supplemented by customer feedback and operational requirements. This initiative represents a continuation of the Distributed Antenna System Cell Phone Repeater project initiated under RFP‑IT‑202405‑01, for which the Toronto Parking Authority Board previously approved a contract award for the implementation of DAS solutions at four (4) car parks at its meeting in July 2024. This phase is currently in the final stages of implementation and is scheduled to be activated before the end of 2025. The current project expands the program to eight (8) additional locations, which will directly address suboptimal cellular coverage (-115 dBm) within these eight underground facilities, resulting in persistent connectivity issues for customers, parking equipment, and staff. By significantly (-75 dBm) enhancing signal strength and reliability, the project will resolve these challenges and, consistent with Toronto Parking Authority's safety‑first philosophy, materially strengthen the safety and security environment for all facility users. The enhanced connectivity will also facilitate integration of the Green P App with gated equipment at these locations, thereby broadening payment options and supporting Toronto Parking Authority's digital objectives. The recommendations in this report are the result of a Request for Proposals (RFP) process that commenced on March 21, 2025. Through a comprehensive evaluation of proposals received, it is recommended that a contract, in an amount not exceeding $4,218,077.90, excluding Harmonized Sales Tax (HST), inclusive of a 15% contingency, for the Distributed Antenna System cell phone repeater Project be awarded to Rogers Communications Canada Inc.
The Board of Directors of the Toronto Parking Authority: 1. Authorized the President, Toronto Parking Authority, to negotiate, enter and execute a contract with Rogers Communications Canada Inc., to deliver the Distributed Antenna System Cell Phone Repeater Project (RFP-ITDAS-202503-01), in an amount not exceeding $4,218,077.90, inclusive of contingency but excluding Harmonized Sales Tax.

Contract Award for the Supply of Wireless, Data Services and Accessories
The purpose of this report is to seek authority for the President to utilize the Province of Ontario's Vendor of Record (VOR) Arrangement Tender Number 18677 for Mobile Devices and Services (The Ontario Master Agreement). The total potential value of Vendor of Record adoption is approximately $1,890,268.00, excluding HST, for the entire term of the contract, including the initial 5 years as well as the optional two (2) terms of two (2) years each. This Vendor of Record arrangement has two Streams: Mobile Devices and Services, and In-Building Wireless (IBW) Solutions Cellular Internet of Things (IoT) The Toronto Parking Authority's Parking Technology Services team supports mobile connectivity for over 1581 cell phone lines by providing wireless services for mobile devices, bike stations, EV Charging Stations, as well as related accessories and services. With the new Provincial Vendor of Record in place, the Toronto Parking Authority is prepared to adopt the new agreement and anticipates additional direct savings of approximately $1,097,129.00 over the new contract period, from 2025 to 2034. As background informing the Toronto Parking Authority's use of the Province's Vendor of Record, in 2018, the Auditor General issued several reports focused on achieving telecommunication cost savings across the City, including two significant reports: "Improvement Needed in Managing the City's Wireless Telecommunication Contracts" for the Information & Technology Division and; "Managing Telecommunication Contracts and Payments" for the Toronto Transit Commission in May 2018. Over the years, the Auditor General has conducted a comprehensive series of telecommunication audits, covering wireless contracts and unused services. The 2018 audits made further recommendations to improve monitoring and reduce overall telecommunication costs. The City achieved wireless contract savings in 2020 by leveraging the Province of Ontario's wireless contract rate. The recommendations highlighted several strategies to achieve cost savings, including re-negotiating cellular plans or transitioning to vendors offering lower prices, as well as leveraging inter-governmental contracts to achieve more favourable rates under the Province of Ontario's Vendor of Record (VOR) arrangement. Recognizing the broader potential for cost savings across the municipal organization, the Auditor General made a strategic recommendation to share knowledge, leveraging inter-governmental contracts and best practices throughout the City's organizational structure. Specifically, the Auditor General recommended that the City forward the telecommunications audit reports to all City agencies and corporations, enabling these entities to review the findings and implement the recommendations where feasible within their own operations to reduce their telecommunication costs. This recommendation acknowledged that while the audits were conducted at the City level, the insights and cost-saving strategies identified could be equally applicable and beneficial to the various agencies and corporations operating under the City's umbrella. The City of Toronto has also recently received approval from City Council (through its meeting on March 26 and 27, 2025, Item GG19.15) for a spend of $58,495,946 with Rogers under the same provincial Vendor of Record arrangement. The primary advantage to the Toronto Parking Authority from using the Vendor of Record (VOR) arrangement is guaranteed access to the best pricing for Public Sector customers through economies of scale and volume, as documented in the Province of Ontario's master agreement, in addition to reducing procurement timelines, including overhead costs for all activities related to obtaining a new contract. The Toronto Parking Authority has determined that the Vendor of Record (VOR) solution meets the business requirements for both streams. Leveraging the Province of Ontario's Vendor of Record enables the Toronto Parking Authority to obtain the best possible pricing for the supply and delivery of wireless services.

Authorized the President, Toronto Parking Authority, to enter into a Master Agreement ("Agreement"), an Adoption Agreement with Rogers, being the primary vendor under the Province of Ontario Vendor of Record Tender Number 18677. 2.

On-Street Parking Rates on Surface Transit Routes in Ward 11
The Toronto Parking Authority (TPA) manages a portfolio of over 20,000 stalls of on-street paid parking, many of which coexist with surface transit routes. As part of Toronto's preparations for hosting the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the City of Toronto and the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) have advanced the RapidTO initiative, focused on implementing transit priority measures to enhance the speed, reliability, and overall performance of surface transit services. As a result of RapidTO, TPA's inventory of paid parking along Bathurst and Dufferin will be reduced for priority bus lanes to more efficiently move people along these key corridors. As part of the initiative, City Council in June 2025 requested TPA to review on-street paid parking rates along key surface transit corridors within Ward 11. In response to this request, Management has reviewed the rates and hours of paid parking in Ward 11 and proposed rate changes and extended hours of paid parking, as outlined in this report. These proposed adjustments are intended to encourage short-term parking turnover, reducing congestion and supporting more efficient transit operations. The changes align parking policy with broader City mobility goals, ensuring that surface transit routes remain accessible and effective for all users. Subject to Board and City Council approval, Management intends to implement the rate changes in early 2026.
The Board of Directors of the Toronto Parking Authority: 1. Approved the proposed modified rates and hours of operation for on-street parking locations on surface transit routes in Ward 11 identified in Attachment 2 and 3 to the report (October 1, 2025) from the President, Toronto Parking Authority, in accordance with Chapter 179 of the Toronto Municipal Code. 2. Directed the President, Toronto Parking Authority, to request the City Solicitor to introduce the necessary bills to City Council to give effect to Part 1 above.

Proposed Amendments to Toronto Parking Authority Policy Resolution 3-6 - Residential Overnight Use
As part of Toronto's preparations for hosting the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the City of Toronto and the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) have rolled out the RapidTO initiative, focused on implementing transit priority measures to enhance the speed, reliability, and overall performance of surface transit services. As a result of RapidTO, Toronto Parking Authority's (TPA) inventory of paid parking will be reduced along Bathurst and Dufferin for priority bus lanes to more efficiently move people along these key corridors. Toronto Parking Authority (TPA) Policy Resolution 3-6 - Residential Overnight Use allows TPA to designate specific off-street parking lots for temporary overnight parking at no charge to applicable residential parking permit holders. In response to the reduced availability of parking due to RapidTO implementation, City Council requested TPA to assess the feasibility of adding Car Park 241 (9 Bonar Place) to Schedule A of Policy Resolution 3-6. Management has reviewed the request and proposes amending the policy to designate Car Park 241 in Policy 3-6 - Residential Overnight Use. The draft amended policy is included in Attachment 1.
The Board of Directors of the Toronto Parking Authority: 1. Approved the amendments to Policy Resolution 3-6, to add Car Park 241 (9 Bonar Place) to Schedule A, as outlined in Attachment 1 to the report (October 1, 2025) from the President, Toronto Parking Authority.

As part of a hospital expansion project at St. Michael's Hospital, three paid on-street parking spaces are being removed, and two associated parking machines will need to be relocated. In accordance with Toronto Parking Authority (TPA) Policy Resolution 2-12: Cost Recovery - Permanent Removal of On-Street Meter Locations, Toronto Parking Authority has assessed the financial impact of this removal at $115,230. Recognizing both the value of the redevelopment and the critical role St. Michael's Hospital plays in delivering healthcare services to the surrounding community and the City as a whole, City Council at its June 2025 meeting requested that Toronto Parking Authority waive all associated parking removal and equipment relocation fees. This report recommends that the Board of Directors, Toronto Parking Authority, approve the waiver of all parking and equipment removal fees related to this project, as detailed in Attachments 1 and 2. Subject to Board approval, Toronto Parking Authority staff will collaborate with the City to ensure that any outstanding conditions related to the fee waiver are fully addressed.
The Board of Directors of the Toronto Parking Authority: 1. Exempted St. Michael's Hospital from Policy 2-12 and waived fees totaling $115,230 associated with the permanent removal of three on-street paid parking spaces and relocation of two parking machines on Bond Street between Queen Street East and Shuter Street, as part of the St. Michael's Hospital Redevelopment project (Application: 16 148963 STE13 SA) as outlined in Attachments 1 and 2 to the report (October 1, 2025) from the President, Toronto Parking Authority.

Proposed Amendments to Toronto Parking Authority Policy Resolutions 2-6 and 2-12
Toronto's on-street paid parking inventory operated by Toronto Parking Authority (TPA) is often impacted by competing curbside uses. This includes temporary parking stall removals, such as redevelopment activities, or permanent parking stall removals, such as road reconstruction. Toronto Parking Authority has established multiple policies that set out the cost recovery associated with both temporary and permanent on-street paid parking removals. Toronto Parking Authority Policy Resolution 2-6 - Cost Recovery - Street Occupancy Permits at On-Street Meter Location allows Toronto Parking Authority to seek reimbursement for lost revenue when on-street parking spaces are temporarily closed for work on the roadway. Toronto Parking Authority Policy Resolution 2-12 - Cost Recovery - Permanent Removal of On-Street Meter Locations allows Toronto Parking Authority to seek reimbursement for lost revenue when on-street parking spaces are permanently removed. This report recommends revisions to both policies to clarify cost recovery provisions, ensuring that Toronto Parking Authority is fully compensated for lost revenues and that responsibilities are clearly assigned to the appropriate parties.
The Board of Directors of the Toronto Parking Authority: 1. Approved the amendments to Toronto Parking Authority Policy Resolution 2-6 in Attachment 1 and Policy Resolution 2-12 in Attachment 2 to the report (October 1, 2025) from the President, Toronto Parking Authority, and directed the President, Toronto Parking Authority, to enact these Policy Resolutions as amended.

Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Equipment Contract Extension Award Update
The purpose of this paper is to defer consideration of extending the EV Charging Equipment Purchase Agreement with ChargePoint Inc., originally effective December 12, 2022, to the Board meeting scheduled for October 16, 2025. At its meeting on March 26, 2025, City Council adopted the Mayor's Economic Action Plan in Response to U.S. Tariffs, outlining ten immediate actions the City will undertake in response to tariffs imposed by the United States. Included in these actions was a directive for the City Manager and the General Manager of Economic Development and Culture to propose amendments to the purchasing bylaw, with a report back to Council anticipated in July 2025. Given the forthcoming amendments to procurement policies and their potential impact on existing and future contractual arrangements, deferring the decision until October 16, 2025, will ensure alignment with City Council's updated procurement framework and strategic priorities.
The Board of Directors of the Toronto Parking Authority: 1. Deferred the consideration of this item until the December 5, 2025 meeting of the Board of Directors of the Toronto Parking Authority.
Staff recommendation as filed
