Parking
Parking regulations help to achieve consistent vehicle turnover as well as safe and efficient travel for pedestrians, cyclists, transit users, and motorists.
Review the Street, Traffic and Public Places Bylaw to learn about parking regulations in Port Moody. Some regulations to note include:
- do not park within five (5) metres of a fire hydrant
- do not park in a designated accessible parking space (unless you have a permit issued through SPARC BC’s Parking Permit Program for People with Disabilities and you are following the program’s rules)
- do not park a motor vehicle adjacent to another person’s residential property for more than three hours, between the hours of 7am and 7pm, Monday to Friday
Always follow parking regulations to be a good neighbour and to avoid a fine.
If you would like to report a bylaw infraction, please visit our Bylaw Enforcement page.

Multi-Family Residential Parking Permit Program
If you live in a multi-family residential area near Inlet Centre Station or Moody Centre Station, you can apply for a parking permit through our Multi-Family Residential Parking Permit Program. The permit exempts your vehicle from the regular parking restriction (four-hour parking, 9am-5pm, Monday to Friday) posted on street signs.
Please note that street parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis and a permit does not guarantee you a parking spot.
How to apply/renew |
Please fill out our online form. You will need to attach a photo of your driver's license with current address or an alternative form of identification. Once your address has been verified as eligible and the new permit or renewal has been processed, we will send you an email with instructions on how to make the payment of $69.00. A permit is valid from the date of purchase until December 31. Permits must be renewed annually with proof of residency provided. There is a limit of one permit per household.

Parking safety
Use the Dutch Reach to avoid injuring cyclists or other road users when exiting your vehicle
A driver opening their car door into the path of a cyclist or other road user can cause serious injury. The Dutch Reach is a simple technique that improves driver awareness and prevents "dooring" accidents. It involves using your hand furthest from the door to open it. This action forces your upper body and head to turn which makes it easier to get an unobstructed view of oncoming cyclists, pedestrians, and other vulnerable road users.
The Fraser Health Authority provides both a video demonstration and simple instructions for the Dutch Reach.
