Parking

Please practice safe parking

Each day tens of thousands of customers take the time to park legally and responsibly.

By practicing safe and courteous parking you help ensure that emergency access routes are clear, your fellow commuters are not blocked in, and accessible parking spaces are available for those who need them.

Please park only in designated spots or your car may be towed.

We understand that finding a spot can sometimes be a challenge and we’re working to expand parking.

Try getting to your station by riding local transit, walking, cycling, getting a ride, or carpooling.

To find out more about improving your overall parking experience, visit our Safe and courteous parking at GO stations page.

Parking guidelines

Most GO stations have customer parking. We do not charge for parking, although you can rent a reserved parking space at most stations. Free parking is offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Customers can park for a maximum of 48 hours (free or reserved spaces).

On weekdays, parking lots can fill up. If your station’s lot is crowded, why not take local transit to and from your station? Discounts are available on many local transit systems for regular GO customers. See our listing of local transit systems to find out more. Or, consider carpooling, taking a taxi, trying a nearby station, getting a ride, biking, or walking. These transportation options have many positive benefits. Our Get to and from GO page has some great resources to help you plan your trip.

We take safety and security at our parking lots very seriously, and we have information and tips on how you can protect your vehicle and help deter crime. To find out about other safety initiatives across the GO system, visit our Safety and Security page for details.

Why have a reserved parking space?
Your mornings are hectic enough without having to search for somewhere to park. Reserved parking spaces are available for rent at most GO stations. Having a reserved space is a real advantage if you take a later train due to your work schedule or daycare arrangements.

Where is reserved parking available?
Reserved spaces are available at Newmarket GO Bus Terminal and at all GO Train stations except:
Bloor
Centennial
Danforth
Exhibition
Hamilton
Kennedy
Kipling
Newmarket
Stouffville
Weston
York University

What is the cost?
The cost to rent a parking space is $58.95 (including taxes) a month per space, for a minimum six-month term. Effective August 1, 2009, the price increases to $70.00 (including taxes). You may choose to pay annually, semi-annually, or monthly by Visa, MasterCard, or American Express or pre-authorized debit. After the first six months, your reserved parking agreement will automatically renew on a month-to-month basis.

How do I apply?
To apply for a reserved spot at your GO station, pick up an application form at the Customer Service Centre in Union Station or at any GO Train station, or download the form (pdf) and print it out. Drop off your completed application at the Customer Service Centre or at your station.

Applications must be received at Union Station no later than the 15th of the month before the month you want to start your reserved parking agreement. Subject to availability, agreements begin the first of the month.

How will I know my spot?
When your application is processed, our reserved parking office will mail you a confirmation letter stating your assigned parking space number. We’ll install a sign with your assigned number at your reserved space.

What if someone parks in my spot?
Although it seldom occurs, there may be an occasion when you arrive at the station to find an unauthorized vehicle parked in your spot. If that happens, simply park in the kiss & ride area, but please don’t block the flow of traffic. Advise the station attendant or call Transit Enforcement at 905.803.0642 after 9 a.m. and let them know your name, your station, your reserved space number, and the licence plate number of your car parked in the kiss & ride. Under normal circumstances, a transit enforcement officer will be dispatched to ticket the illegally parked car before 3 p.m. that day.
