City of Ottawa

**Brand Description: City of Ottawa**

The City of Ottawa, the vibrant capital of Canada, offers a comprehensive range of services aimed at enhancing the lives of its residents and visitors. Among its vital community services is the management of on-street parking, which has recently undergone significant updates to align with demand-based pricing. Effective August 12, 2024, these changes aim to optimize parking availability throughout the city. The innovative pricing model, approved by council in 2019, ensures that parking rates are periodically reviewed and adjusted based on local demand.

With a total of 20 paid parking zones, rates will increase in seven zones and decrease in four, promoting turnover in high-demand areas. For instance, the Rideau zone will now feature parking for just one dollar per hour. The City encourages community engagement through various communication channels including its website, social media, and direct contact through their Client Service Centre. Whether for parking information or municipal services, the City of Ottawa is committed to fostering an accessible and user-friendly environment for all.
