ParkPlus (street parking system) how to:

• Once pulled into a ParkPlus parking zone, look out for the conveniently located pay machines
• Follow payment instructions
• Provide your zone and license plate number and you're done!

The system is automated and ticketless which eliminates placing a ticket on the dashboard. The flexibility of the ParkPlus zones allows for more parking spaces available in most areas.

Problems? In the event a pay machine is out of order, you must proceed to another pay machine to make payment using one of the functioning payment methods provided.

If a pay machine does not return coins, customers may request a refund by emailing parkplusadmin@calgaryparking.com or by faxing 403-537-7001.

Requests must include the date, pay machine ID, contact information and any other relevant information.
