EPark FAQ
These instructions are also provided on the pay machines.
- Enter the four digit zone number for the area in which you are parked. The zone number is located on top of the street signs. The zone number will be posted at every meter, along with the instructions on how to use the machine.
- Enter your license plate information.
- Make payment by either inserting coins ($2, $1, $0.25)** until “paid to time” is adequate or, inserting a credit card (VISA, MasterCard or AMEX) as shown on the front of the pay machine. Remove credit card when requested and select the appropriate time required by pressing the + (add) or “Max Time” buttons.
- Press button for optional receipt, a receipt is not required for the dash.
**Please note the pay machines do not provide change.
Please proceed to another pay machine and make payment. If you are parked on-street, payment can be made at any on-street pay machine.
If you are parked in a parking lot or parkade, you can use any pay machine within the lot/parkade or any pay machine located on-street to complete your payment.
Please note: If you park in a parkade and use a pay machine located on street, you will need the zone number of the parkade. The zone number is located on signs posted throughout the parkade.
In the event that a pay machine does not return coins, customers may request a refund by emailing epark@edmonton.ca or by completing an online form.
When calling 780-496-7275 and citizens press * to report a problem, the call will be transferred to the 311 customer service centre, who will be ready to handle calls from Edmontonians for problems experienced here.
Requests must include the date, pay machine ID, contact information and any other relevant information. The pay machine will be checked for an overage and customers will be contacted regarding the outcome.
EPark is totally paperless; the receipt is an optional item that you must request before the end of your transaction. You do not require a receipt for your dashboard.
Yes, but you will have to use the same method of payment in order for the system to recognize your session.
For example, if you have paid at a pay machine for an hour you will have to use a pay machine to add time to your session. Alternatively, you could wait until your current session ends, then go online to start a new session and pay using a credit card.
If you used your credit card, you have the option to either use a machine or pay online for additional time.
In either case, the additional payment will apply to your existing session and will not start a new one.
Please note: as per City bylaws, the vehicle may not be parked for longer than the maximum time posted on the signs in the area.

You do not need to designate which vehicle you are using when you activate a parking session using your cell phone account as long as you have an active parking session for one of the vehicles listed in the account.
The only requirement is that you have enough active parking sessions for the number of vehicles parked in an EPark parking zone. For example, if you have two vehicles parked in EPark zones, you must activate two distinct parking sessions. (You must activate each parking session from a separate cell phone number.)
No. The phone number that is used to activate the parking session must be used to deactivate the parking session.
