Direct Billing to Private Insurance Plans

Ontario accessible parking permits (APPs) can be issued to a person or to a company vehicle used to transport people with a disability.

An accessible parking permit holder is the person who has the eligible health condition and will be named on the accessible parking permit.

To apply for an Ontario accessible parking permit, you must have:

  • a health condition that meets the eligible health requirements.

  • Authorization from a regulated healthcare practitioner.

You must clearly display your permit with the number and expiry date visible on your vehicle’s sun visor or dashboard to park in an accessible parking space. The permit holder must be either a passenger or driver of the vehicle using the accessible parking space.

Only the person named on the permit can use an accessible parking space. If you use the permit without the permit holder in the vehicle, you could be fined up to $5,000 and the permit may be seized.
