On-Street Parking Registration

Whitby's on-street parking registration system has been upgraded to serve you better. You will need to create an account prior to registering for street parking. Please allow up to 5 days to process your initial registration. There is no cost for this service.

Create an account to register for short term on-street parking by-law exemptions.

A short term on-street parking exemption is used to allow residents to register vehicles of guests, health care workers, contractors, or other infrequent visitors for a FREE short-term parking permit. This permit exempts vehicles from the following elements of the Traffic By-law:

3 hour on-street parking limit
overnight parking (2 a.m. to 6 a.m.), subject to winter maintenance conditions

Please note: A short-term on-street parking exemption cannot be granted for residents of housing complexes, or for parking on a private road, Regional Road or a Provincial Road.

Create an account

During a winter weather event requiring Town wide road plowing/salting, all parking exemptions are cancelled to allow snow plow vehicles to safely clear the roads. Parking on the road during a snow event is prohibited.

If you need to park on the street because of a construction project, including sidewalk/boulevard repair you still need to register with the program. Construction-related requests don’t count towards your annual parking pass limit ( 12 weeks per year for personal use).

For large events such as weddings or large family gatherings, please contact Transportation Services two weeks in advance to arrange the appropriate parking measures.

The personal information collected on this form is collected under the authority of the Municipal Act, 2001. The information collected will be used by the Town of Whitby to administer the Town’s short term On-Street Parking Permit Program. Questions about this collection should be directed to the Transportation Services, 3050 Garden Street, by phone at 905.430.4300 or by email at: Transportation@whitby.ca
