Agence m\u00e9tropolitaine de transport<\/i> (AMT) is about to test whether Laval residents will accept parking fees at its park\u2019n\u2019ride facility adjacent to Cartier Metro station. <\/p>\n

Parking at Laval\u2019s Metro stations has long been outstripped by demand, making it a daily gamble as to whether you will get a spot to leave your car for the day. <\/p>\n

Starting July 1, commuters will have to pay $100 per month or $6.25 per day in return for one of some 130 reserved spots at the parking lot. The remaining 400 spots there will continue to be free for the time being and available on a first-come, first-served basis. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a new source of revenue to fill the coffers of AMT\u2019s capital asset fund,\u201d regional transit authority spokeswoman Brigitte L\u00e9onard said in an electronic mail reply to The Suburban\u2019s<\/i> questions.<\/p>\n

\u201cNearly 20 percent of AMT customers [said in a survey] that they were prepared to pay for a reserved parking spot,\u201d she explained. \u201cWe will see whether the parking spaces are used during the months to come and evaluate the pilot project at the end of 2014.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cBased on how the pilot project unfolds,\u201d she added, \u201cwe will decide whether or not to implement parking fees more broadly in other park\u2019n\u2019ride facilities on AMT territory.\u201d<\/p>\n

AMT already charges for reserved car parking at five other commuter stations:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Deux Montagnes (250 cars at$50\/month)
\n\u2022 Roxboro-Pierrefonds (170 cars at $80\/month)
\n\u2022 Ste. Th\u00e9r\u00e8se (100 cars at $50\/month)
\n\u2022 Namur (85 cars at $110\/month or $7\/day)
\n\u2022 Terrebonne (140 cars at $40\/month)<\/p>\n

AMT noted that it provides charging stations for electric cars in some AMT park\u2019n\u2019ride facilities, including at Cartier station. Details are available at: https:\/\/votrenouveau.amt.qc.ca\/en\/transit-planner\/car\/electric<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
