1 Online Activation Step 1: Set up a ParkPlus Cell Phone Account: To activate a parking session using the online activation tool, you must have a ParkPlus cell phone account. To set up a ParkPlus account, visit Create user ID, contact information, password, enter user information and make a deposit (minimum of $25.00) on account. If the account is only to be used for Online Activation purposes only, enter in an office or home phone number and a temporary license plate for the user information. After the account set up is complete, you can delete the phone and license plate information. When the account set up is complete, log in to your ParkPlus account using your log in name and password. Step 2: Click on the Online Activation tab at the top of the page. Enter date, start/end time, zone number and license plate information for any parking sessions you wish to activate. Online Activations can be performed in advance for your function. Availability is on a first-come, first-served basis. Space is not guaranteed. No refunds will be issued if a parking session is activated and the space is not used or an alternative location is used. If you perform the set up in advance, we strongly suggest that you confirm the information that has been entered, because the parker for whom the session was set up may have selected an alternate parking zone. NOTES: Changes can be made to an Online Activation parking session up to the minute prior to the start of the session without any financial impact. Once the parking session has started, the parking cost will be deducted. If the session is stopped, your account will be credited for the unused time. A minimum fee applies to all online activation parking sessions. The minimum fee will vary depending on the zone number for which the session was activated. Online activations can be set up for times and dates in the future. However, a payment cannot be back dated. You cannot activate a parking session for a date and time that has already occurred. When a parking session is activated using the Online Activation system, it must be deactivated (stop session) using the Online Activation system. If you have any questions or require further clarification about online activations, please contact ParkPlus by phone ( ) or parkplusadmin@calgaryparking.com. *The ParkPlus website also contains rate information and information about parking locations. 1
