Parking Permit Program

Parking Permit Program

The program is regulated by Manitoba Transportation & Infrastructure and administered by Manitoba Possible. The Parking Permit Program ensures that when a person has difficulty walking more than 50 meters they can park in one of the specially designated accessible parking spots in lots across the province.

Anyone who needs the full-time assistance of a mobility aid such as a wheelchair, walker, cane, or crutches is eligible for a parking permit. Temporary permits are also available to allow you to use designated spaces during your recovery period (as certified by your health care professional).

People are eligible for the permit even if they don't own a vehicle. The numbered permit can be hung in the rear view mirror of any car as long as the registered permit holder is also in the car.

People moving to Manitoba are required to get a Manitoba parking permit within three months of becoming a permanent resident to avoid any confusion about their right to park in a designated space. Visitors to Manitoba, however, can use their regular accessible parking permit during their visit – just as the Manitoba parking permit is recognized across Canada, the United States and the European Union (EU).

We recommend checking with local authorities when planning on using your permit abroad.

Program Cost

The parking permit is available for a cost-recovery fee of $15.00. For people with a permanent disability, a permit is valid up to three years. Temporary permits expire once a person has completed their recovery.

Appealing A Denied or Cancelled Permit

If your permit application has been denied or cancelled, you may pursue a medical review and appeal the decision. For more information on this process, please visit the Government of Manitoba’s Medical Review Committee webpage.

Permit Holder Responsibilities

As a parking permit holder, you have certain responsibilities. Ensuring your permit is used properly will help make sure that designated spaces are being used by the people who need them.
