Toronto Parking Authority - 2026 Operating Budget and 2026-2028 Capital Budget
The purpose of this report is to provide the Board of Directors with Management's recommended 2026 Operating Budget and 2025 - 2027 Capital Budget. 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, head count and favourability on municipal taxes and volume-related costs. Toronto Parking Authority 2025 capital delivery of $49.9 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 modestly advanced 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. Approved the proposed 2026 Operating Budget and 2026 - 2028 Capital Budget for Toronto Parking Authority as presented in Attachment 1 to the report (November 25, 2025) from the President, Toronto Parking Authority, with the following amendments: a. Reduce the 2026 Operating Budget Submission for Services and Rent by $1.1 million gross, to reflect the inclusion of the Toronto Parking Authority in the City's corporate insurance program as of June 30, 2026; b. Reduce the 2026 Operating Budget Submission for Services and Rent by a further $0.6 million gross, to reflect the inclusion of the Toronto Parking Authority in the City's cyber-security program; c. Adjust the 2026 Capital Plan by replacing the funding sources of applicable capital projects from Toronto Parking Authority's retained earnings to City debt, ensuring capital investments are financed over the term of the asset's useful life; d. Eliminate the 2026 Operating Budget Submission of $17.1 million associated with amortization and depreciation expenditures, to reflect the change in capital financing referenced in Part 1c above; and e. Increase the 2026 planned dividend to the City of Toronto by $29.4 million, inclusive of the above actions totalling $18.8 million in net operating expenditure reductions, and notwithstanding the current Toronto Parking Authority Income Share agreement, reflect an additional $10.6 million from retained earnings, in accordance with capital financing changes referenced in Part 1c above and the proposed suspension of the Income Share Agreement recommended in Part 2 below. 2. Directed the President, Toronto Parking Authority to work with the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, City of Toronto to prepare, for submission to City Council, a request to seek the suspension of the 2024-2026 City of Toronto - Toronto Parking Authority Net Income Share Agreement, effective for 2026, to enable all Toronto Parking Authority net revenue to be remitted to the City of Toronto, while a longer-term fiscal and governance review is underway, and in recognition of the actions detailed in Parts 1a to 1e above. 3. Directed the President, Toronto Parking Authority, to fulfill any further requirements of the City of Toronto's insurance underwriting process and execute any administrative tasks including registration of vehicles under the City of Toronto for the purposes of providing automobile liability insurance for Toronto Parking Authority vehicles, as applicable. 4. Requested the President, Toronto Parking Authority, to continue to support the City of Toronto as it relates to its longer-term fiscal and governance review in identifying potential opportunities, including: a. Inclusion in additional City-wide corporate programs; b. A comprehensive review of the Toronto Parking Authority's current retained earnings, which may result in a reduction to the amount of City debt required, and/or may allow for additional funding to be added to the 10-Year Capital Plan for Toronto Parking Authority; c. Inclusion of Toronto Parking Authority's planned and unfunded future capital projects in the City's Capital Prioritization Framework, to ensure that projects, and specifically unfunded state of good repair needs, are considered and prioritized against other City of Toronto capital funding requirements; and d. Any other opportunities identified by the Toronto Parking Authority that may require the support of the City of Toronto to explore and implement.

2030 Bike Share Toronto Growth Strategy - Ride More, Connect More
The purpose of this report is to seek approval from the Board of Directors for the Toronto Parking Authority's proposed Bike Share Toronto 2030 Strategy - Ride More, Connect More. As North America's third-largest bike share system, Bike Share Toronto (BST) has enjoyed significant growth and popularity over the past five years and has emerged as an integral component of Toronto's transportation network. By year-end, Bike Share Toronto ridership is forecasted to reach a record 8.1 million trips powered by a fleet of 10,251 bikes including 2,319 e-bikes across all 25 wards. Customer satisfaction remains strong at 85 percent including an impressive net promoter score (NPS) of 40. These results exceed the objectives of our 2022 Strategy which is now complete. Our new strategy incorporates the feedback from both our stakeholders and customer research. We have also leveraged best practices from jurisdictions across the world including Montreal, New York and London. We have been deliberate in our approach, critically assessed our operational performance over the past five years, and will continue to remain true to our core operating principles: Customer Centricity, Operational Excellence, Financial Sustainability, and Connecting with Higher Order Public Transit. Our stakeholder engagement process- leveraging feedback from customers, Bike Share Toronto members, City Councillors, CycleTO, TABIA, City Divisions etc. was especially informative and remarkably consistent. Specifically, it revealed a common desire that the Bike Share Toronto system should become a catalyst for accelerating the growth of a broader "cycling culture" in the city that helps foster a better connected, inclusive, and equitable transportation option for all Torontonians. Our proposed strategy is thus grounded in a new aspirational vision: To inspire and mobilize one million unique Bike Share Toronto customers and establish Bike Share Toronto as a trusted, valued and indispensable transportation option for residents and visitors alike. Our winning objective is to build a network that will generate 14 to 16 million trips per year by 2030 representing a 70 percent to 100 percent increase versus 2025. We will win by executing against our five key operating imperatives described below: 1. Mobilize our 40,000 members as ambassadors to inspire the next generation of cyclists. 2. Accelerate fleet and station electrification. 3. Expand network growth and densification citywide. 4. Elevate operational excellence and leverage innovation to drive productivity and user experience. 5. Create a sustainable funding model which de-risks financial exposure while continuing to provide an equitable value proposition for our customers. The 2030 Bike Share Toronto Strategy "Ride More, Connect More", sets a bold plan to expand and modernize one of North America's largest bike share systems. Bike Share Toronto will be materially scaled to better serve residents, support climate action, and strengthen Toronto's integrated mobility network.
The Board of Directors of the Toronto Parking Authority: 1. Approved the 2030 Bike Share Toronto Growth Strategy, Ride More, Connect More, as outlined in the Bike Share Toronto 2030 Strategy report (November 20, 2025) from the President, Toronto Parking Authority.

Bike Share Toronto 2026 Equipment Purchase
As outlined in the 2030 Bike Share Toronto Strategy - Ride More, Connect More, three capital-driven operating imperatives, fleet and station electrification, targeted network densification, and enhanced system dependability and performance, form the foundation for inspiring and mobilizing one million unique riders by 2030. These pillars collectively strengthen Bike Share Toronto's role as a trusted, seamless, and sustainable mobility service. By expanding e-charging capacity, improving station density where demand is highest, and elevating the reliability of bikes, docks, and digital systems, BST will deliver greater choice, ease, and speed, helping build a more connected, inclusive, and better Toronto. The purpose of this report is to obtain authority from the Toronto Parking Authority Board of Directors to purchase the equipment required to execute year one of 2030 Bike Share Toronto Strategy, including payment of an advance deposit before the end of 2025, which will secure delivery of the equipment by the second quarter of 2026. In 2026, Bike Share Toronto (BST) will add 53 solar stations, 350 electric charging docks (e-docks), 750 iconic bikes, and 200 e-fit pedal asset bikes to the system. In addition, new station equipment required for state of good repair will be included. These investments will grow the current system to 1,133 stations, 1,725 e-bike charging docks and 11,344 bikes, including 8,684 iconic bikes and 2,660 e-bikes. The investment will increase the share of e-docks from 6 percent to 8 percent, adding approximately 350 new e-docking points and bringing the total from 1,375 to 1,725 electrified docks systemwide. The planned expansion is reflected in both TPA's 2026 Operating Budget and 2026-2028 Capital Budget. The total cost to purchase the new equipment is $8,462,716 excluding Harmonized Sales Tax (HST). The equipment will be purchased from Montreal based PBSC / Lyft Urban Solutions Inc., pursuant to the terms and conditions of TPA's Equipment Supply Agreement with PBSC / Lyft Urban Solutions (Lyft). Under the terms of this agreement, Lyft requires a deposit of 35 percent or $2,961,950.60 (excluding HST) which is included in TPA's approved 2026 - 2028 Capital Budget.
The Board of Directors of the Toronto Parking Authority: 1. Authorized payment of $8,462,716.00 (excluding HST) for the purchase of new equipment to support the 2026 expansion of Bike Share Toronto, comprising new bicycles, stations, docks, and ancillary elements needed for state of good repair under the Equipment Supply Agreement with PBSC / Lyft Urban Solutions Inc., including a 35 percent deposit payment of $2,961,950.60 (excluding HST) in 2025.

Business Strategy and Marketing Services Vendor of Record
As Toronto Parking Authority (TPA) continues its journey to becoming one of the world's best providers of sustainable parking, Bike Share and last mile mobility experiences, Management has used a Business Strategy and Marketing Services Vendor of Record (VoR) to access agency partners to support Toronto Parking Authority's growth agenda. The Vendor of Record includes agency partners across a number of service categories that include Strategy Development and Creative Services, Strategic Partnerships, Market Research, Public Relations and Communications and Digital Marketing. Management has retained agencies on the Vendor of Record for a number of key initiatives, including the completion of consumer research, the development and execution of targeted marketing campaigns, preparation of annual reports, ongoing public relations and communications support, the development and execution of go-to-market strategies to secure strategic partnerships and the completion of website enhancements, among others. The original Vendor of Record was established through a competitive request for proposals (RFP) process, with the RFP published on Merx in late 2021. Following an extensive evaluation by Toronto Parking Authority's Evaluation Committee, recommendations to establish the Vendor of Record were brought forward and adopted by the Board at its meeting of February 18, 2022. Over the course of the last four years, a broad range of initiatives have been executed. A high-level summary of these is below, with more in-depth examples of these initiatives in the "Comments" and "Appendix B" sections of this report. Initiatives have included: Market Research and Customer Segmentation Analysis - Toronto Parking Authority completed comprehensive market research and customer segmentation analysis for Bike Share and Green P Parking. This research has been used to guide the development of customer facing communications and marketing initiatives to drive customer experience and transaction and revenue growth. Marketing Campaigns (2022 - 2025) - including the development and execution of a wide range of GreenP, EV and Bike Share marketing campaigns over the course of 2022 through 2025. Communications and Media Relations - partners were used to provide communications support, event support, and ongoing management of media inquiries. Digital Marketing - a substantial redevelopment of the parking.greenp.com website was undertaken. Annual Reports - preparation and publication of four (4) Annual Reports (2021 - 2024, as required under the Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 179, Parking Authority. As of October 31, 2025, a total of $6,094,163 has been spent against the current Vendor of Record spend limit amount for the past four years (2022-2025) of $6,500,000. The original VoR expires at the end of 2025. In preparation, the Toronto Parking Authority issued a new RFP on Merx for agencies to deliver these services. The RFP was issued on June 17, 2025, and closed on July 25, 2025. The Request for Proposal (RFP) consists of the same five (5) service categories: Strategy Development and Creative Services; Strategic Partnerships; Market Research Partner; Public Relations and Communications Partner and Digital Marketing Partner. Through a detailed review of the proposals received, Toronto Parking Authority's Bid Evaluation Committee has identified a range of proponents that are recommended to be included in the Business Strategy and Marketing Services Vendor of Record (VOR) Agreement. Future programs are in development to continue the execution of the Toronto Parking Authority, Bike Share and Green P business strategies. Investments are planned to continue with the work to date, and include ongoing customer market research to inform product development, customer satisfaction and experience improvement; delivering on partnerships with Bike Share and other partners, and marketing across all channels to drive ridership, transaction, and revenue growth across all business segments, including Bike Share, Green P Parking, and EV.

License Agreement with Metrolinx - Temporary Closure of Car Park 17 (716 Pape Avenue)
As a part of the Ontario Line project, Metrolinx has identified one (1) additional Toronto Parking Authority (TPA) car park as the preferred location to stage construction for the Pape Interchange Station (the "Project"). The location identified by Metrolinx is Car Park 17 (716 Pape Avenue). Metrolinx has made this request to the City of Toronto, asking that Toronto Parking Authority temporarily close this car park to be used for construction staging. This has been requested pursuant to the City of Toronto's Real Estate Protocol for the Province of Ontario's Priority Transit Projects, which includes the Ontario Line. Car Park 17 is a 74 space surface car park, which saw approximately 74,306 transactions in 2024. There are 8 additional Green P parking facilities within an estimated 800 metre radius of Car Park 17, with approximately 350 spaces. These specific locations are included on page 6 of this report, under Parking Supply Impacts. As the project lead, Metrolinx is responsible for the consultation meetings in the neighbourhood. Participants at these meetings include the local Business Improvement Area, residents' associations, elected officials and others. Toronto Parking Authority understands the Ward Councillor has been advised by the City and Metrolinx that the subject property is required. Due to the significant construction impacts of the Ontario Line on the availability of paid parking in Ward 14, Toronto Parking Authority is exploring opportunities to add paid parking spaces elsewhere in the Pape/Danforth community. Management is reviewing options to add new on-street paid parking spaces in the Ward and will consult with both the Ward Councillor and Transportation Services. Metrolinx is proposing to enter into a Licence Agreement with the City of Toronto (the "City Licence") for exclusive use of the Car Park. The Licence Agreement is for a term of five (5) years, with one (1) option to extend the term for up to four (4) additional years. If approved, Toronto Parking Authority will decommission the entirety of the Car Park in preparation of the temporary closures in January 2026. In support of the Pape Interchange Station project, Car Park 89 (20 Eaton Avenue) is already the subject of a Licence Agreement between the City and Metrolinx and was decommissioned by Toronto Parking Authority in January 2024. It has been turned over to Metrolinx in accordance with the terms of a Licence Agreement for a term of five (5) years, with one (1) option to extend the term for up to four (4) additional years. In July 2024, Board approval was also given for Metrolinx to enter into a Licence Agreement with the City for the temporary closure of Car Park 137 (77 Gough Avenue) for a term of five (5) years, with one (1) option to extend the term for up to four (4) additional years. This temporary closure is expected to proceed in January 2026. Also in July 2024, Board approval was given for Metrolinx to temporarily close Car Park 90 (17 Eaton Avenue) for the project, but they have since removed this location from their project scope.
The Board of Directors of the Toronto Parking Authority: 1. Authorized the President, Toronto Parking Authority to request the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management to enter into a Licence Agreement on behalf of the City of Toronto with Metrolinx concerning 716 Pape Avenue (Car Park 17) in accordance with the Terms and Conditions outlined in Table 2 of the report (November 28, 2025) from the President, Toronto Parking Authority, and any such other amended terms and conditions as may be acceptable to the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management and the City Solicitor as to provide compensation for the loss of parking revenue and other expenses related to the Metrolinx occupation of the entirety of Car Park 17.
