The Benefits of Prepaid Parking Permits at Hospitals
Posted: Aug, 11, 2020 10:19AM ET • 1 min read
Since 2016, the Ontario government’s Hospital Parking Directive has mandated healthcare institutions to offer 5-, 10-, and 30-day parking permits to their patients and visitors. These prepaid parking permits have been a successful incentive for both healthcare institutions and users.
When the directive was released, prepaid parking permits had to be:
Offered at a discounted rate
Able to be shared between multiple family members
Used to enter and exit the parking lot multiple times in a day without having to pay each time
And be valid for at least one year
Since the initial rollout, many parking suppliers have advanced the features of hospital prepaid permits, such as being able to use one single permit to access multiple hospital campuses or a pressure-free way to easily share the privilege amongst family members.
While the directive was mandatory for hospitals in Ontario, many hospitals across Canada have since decided to offer prepaid parking permits to frequent patients and visitors because they alleviate the anxieties around the cost of parking, especially for those who need to visit the hospital on a frequent basis. In addition to creating seamless parking experiences for patients and visitors, prepaid parking passes create peace of mind for hospital administration staff, who now have an affordable parking solution to offer their frequent visitors in need of assistance.
