Getting or Replacing an Accessible Parking Permit (APP)
Posted under: Resources by admin
Date posted to site, March 16, 2010
The Accessible Parking Permit (APP) is issued to individuals and entitles the vehicle in which it is displayed to be parked in a designated accessible parking space. The individual to whom the permit is issued must be in the vehicle and the permit must be visibly displayed on the dashboard or sun visor when it
is parked in the designated accessible parking space. The permit holder may use the permit in any vehicle in which they are travelling. There is no fee for an APP. The ministry issues four types of permits, which are colour coded; a Permanent Permit (blue), a Temporary Permit (red), a Traveller Permit
(purple) and Company Permits (green).

Except for a few questions about the nature of conferences and symposiums and the purpose of promotional budgets, councillors seemed content with what was asked.

coach can be made available to anyone with mobility issues.
