• The City is transitioning from coin-operated parking meters to PayByPhone as the only way to pay for downtown on-street parking. This change supports a shift toward more efficient, digital service options.

• Yes. Payment is still required when a meter is covered, and all current parking rules remain in effect, including posted time limits.

• Payment can be made using PayByPhone or, starting April 1, 2026, by using prepaid parking vouchers.

• No. Coin payment has been discontinued as part of the transition to PayByPhone.

• Yes. All current parking regulations remain in effect, including posted time limits and other parking rules.

• You have stayed at the current location longer than allowed for that specific parking space. Time limits may be two hours, three hours or four hours depending on the location. To begin another parking session, move your vehicle to another block or across the street and enter the new location number to begin a new parking session.

• You can move your vehicle to another block or the opposite side of the street and start a new parking session. Some on-street parking spaces now allow two-hour, three-hour or four-hour parking depending on the location. If you are planning a stay longer than the posted time limit, consider parking in a parkade or parking lot.

• No, unused time is not transferable.

• The transaction fee is a user fee collected by the service provider for using the app.

• When you pay for parking by phone, your license plate and parking time are automatically displayed on the device used by the parking enforcement officer. Users do not need to display a receipt.

• If you believe you have received a ticket in error, either request a parking review online or contact Parking Services at 306-777-6374.

• Prepaid parking vouchers are an alternative payment option for downtown on-street Payment Required parking areas. They are available for residents who prefer not to use the PayByPhone system. Vouchers can be purchased at City Hall starting April 1, 2026, and are sold in packs of five for $13.75.

• Each voucher includes scratch-off sections for the year, month, day and start time. Drivers must scratch the correct information and place the voucher clearly on the vehicle dashboard so it can be verified by parking enforcement. Each voucher is valid for one hour of parking starting from the time indicated on the voucher.

• Prepaid vouchers can be used in downtown, on-street Payment Required parking areas. They are not valid in areas such as Wascana Centre, the University of Regina, Regina Airport Authority, hospitals, No Parking areas, No Stopping areas, alleys or private property.

• Each prepaid parking voucher is valid for one hour of on-street parking starting from the time scratched on the voucher. If you want to park for more than one hour, you must display one voucher for each hour you are parking on the vehicle dashboard.

• Paid on-street parking is organized into two pay zones, which determine the hourly parking rate.

Zone A, most of downtown, is $2.50/hour.

Zone B, downtown periphery, is $1.50/hour.

Loading zones have a 15-minute limit and are $1.25 in Zone A and $0.75 in Zone B.

Pay zones determine the hourly rate only. Time limits determine how long a vehicle can stay parked in a specific space. The City has recently extended time limits in certain downtown paid parking areas. Some spaces may have two-hour, three-hour or four-hour time limits depending on the location.

See the map at Regina.ca/Parking to check pay zones and time limits.

• The parking map identifies the specific streets where time limits are changing. Areas with moderate to high parking utilization will retain their existing two-hour limits. Areas with moderately low utilization will move to a three-hour limit. Areas with the lowest utilization will move to a four-hour limit. Please refer to the map above on this page for details.

• Vouchers can be used in both Zone A and Zone B. Each voucher is valid for one hour of on-street parking. Drivers must display one voucher for each hour they are parked.
  

• No, residential two-hour parking areas are not affected by the updated time limits.
  

• Some downtown areas currently have lower on-street parking utilization, meaning parking spaces are regularly available throughout the day. Extending the time limits helps make the parking system more practical and convenient while still maintaining turnover where needed.
