The Province is reducing a financial burden on patients and their loved ones by requiring hospitals that charge more than $10 per day for parking to offer discounted passes.
That will effectively cut the daily maximum rates for frequent visitors by at least 50 per cent.
Premier Kathleen Wynne was at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto Monday to highlight the discounts, which took effect on October 1.
The five, 10 and 30 day passes are transferrable among patients and caregivers and are valid for up to a year for consecutive or non-consecutive days.
Wynne says the change will help people in their daily lives because the cost of parking can add up quickly for anyone needing to go to a hospital for a series of treatments, or to visit a loved one.
