Toronto Subway Parking | Map, Rates and Fee

ByJonathan Kennedy

Limited parking options are available at some Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) subway system stations. Here’s a breakdown of the available options:

  • TTC-operated parking lots: The TTC operates parking lots at three stations on Line 1 Yonge-University: Finch West, Highway 407, and Pioneer Village. These lots offer paid parking from 5 am to 2 am on weekdays and free parking on weekends and statutory holidays. Daily rates are around $7 [TTC Parking]. 
  • Green P Parking: Many subway stations are near off-street Green P parking lots. Green P is a private company that operates parking facilities across Toronto. You can find and pay for parking at Green P locations using their mobile app or website [Green P Parking Toronto].

Here are some things to consider when deciding whether to park at a subway station:

  • Availability: Parking spaces at TTC-operated lots and nearby Green P locations can fill up quickly, especially during peak hours.
  • Cost: Parking can be expensive, especially compared to a TTC fare.
  • Convenience: Parking at a subway station can be a convenient option if you are coming from a long distance or have mobility limitations. However, it is essential to factor in the time to find a parking space.

If you are considering parking at a subway station, check the availability of parking spaces in advance and be prepared to pay for parking. You can also consider taking advantage of TTC’s park-and-ride program, which allows you to park your car at a GO Transit station and take the TTC subway to your destination.

Closure

The north parking lot at Kennedy Station is closed from May 1, 2017, until approximately 2021.
