Downtown Parking Cards

 Downtown parking cards are the easiest and most cost effective way to park downtown.

You can purchase Parking Meter Cards from the Cashier Counter at City Hall that provides a convenient way to pay for parking at downtown parking meters. Parking meter cards are $25 ($5 activation fee and $20 preloaded value.) You can purchase $10 increments, up to $100 maximum value.

Reuse the same card to avoid paying the $5 activation fee. The same card can be preloaded multiple times.

They are easy to use:
You need to insert your card into the meter, in order to log IN to your account. Once you are logged IN, the meter will start using up your preloaded value. Before you leave your parking spot, PLEASE REMEMBER … you must re-insert your card into the meter to log OUT.
You must always log your card OUT before you can use it again.
Instructions to log IN:

1. Insert card firmly into the meter with the chip side down.
2. Remaining balance will be displayed.
3. Meter will say “IN” – you are now logged in.
4. Maximum amount of time allowed will show (or the amount of time left on your card, whichever is less).
5. Remove card. Your account is now logged IN and starting to use up your preloaded value.

NOTE: Do not remove card until meter states IN.

Instructions to log OUT:

1. Insert card firmly into the meter with the chip side down.
2. Unused time will remain on your card and the remaining balance will be displayed on the meter.
3. Meter will say “OUT” – you are now logged out.
4. Remove card.

NOTE: Always insert your card before leaving and log out. Even if there is no time limit left on the parking meter, you still need to log out.

By using a parking card you are only paying for the time that you are parked there.  Stop by City Hall to purchase your parking card.  Also, note that there are 2 hour and 5 hour parking stalls.  If you will be spending some time in the downtown choose a five hour lot to save time and money.  Click on the brochure below for the map.

Do you know that annually $40,000 from parking meter fees goes into the Prince Albert Downtown Business Improvement District reserve fund?  That fund is used for a variety of purposes, such as events, signage, grants, and capitol projects.
