The Toronto Parking Authority (TPA), commonly known as Green P for its green-colour branding, is a municipal parking services company owned by the City of Toronto. The TPA was established in 1998 with the merger of parking operations in the area of the former Metropolitan Toronto. A municipal parking authority in the pre-amalgamation City of Toronto was first set up in 1952, taking over management of parking from the police.[1]
The TPA operates off-street parking lots and parking garages, on-street metered parking, and Toronto's bicycle-sharing system, named Bike Share Toronto. It is one of the largest operators of municipal parking services in North America and is 100% self-sustaining through parking user fees and other sources, returning 75% of its annual net operating income to the City of Toronto,[2][3] totaling $1.5 billion since 1992.[4]
