Accessible Parking Permits

In summer 2021, the accessible Parking Permit Program, administered by Manitoba Possible on behalf of Manitoba Infrastructure, launched a new, online process for applying, renewing, and replacing the permits that allow Manitobans to park in accessible spots around the province. 

The program, which provides both temporary and permanent permits to Manitobans who have difficulty walking more than 50 metres without the use of a mobility aid, has been serving thousands of Manitobans out of its main service centre at 1857 Notre Dame for over a decade. Now, an online platform will connect applicants, their healthcare practitioner, and Manitoba Possible in a secure, verified digital process. For the first time, applicants will be able to pay for applications, renewals, and replacements online. 

“Manitoba Possible is thrilled to be keeping up with the times and launching a simplified way for Manitobans and healthcare providers to be able to apply and renew accessible parking permits online. This will be a simple and efficient process that will eliminate the need to drive to our office to renew or apply for a permit if one chooses so.” Director, Provincial Services (Adults), Monique Constant, shared. 

Applications will remain in printable formats available by request for those who may require paper applications or those who do not have an email address or a credit card. Service center locations, such as Manitoba Possible regional offices, Manitoba Public Insurance locations and municipal offices throughout the province, will be able to print applications for those who do not have access to technology.
