Accessible Parking in Surrey Public Lots

Access aisles are not extra parking space.

Report misuse

Report blocked stalls or illegal use through City parking channels.

Private lots differ

A private garage may use different payment and permit rules.

EV Charging and Parking in Surrey

EV charging can also be parking. So, check both the charger rule and the parking rule.

Check the City EV map

Surrey provides public EV charging information through official City resources.
