In support of Vancouver's efforts to become the greenest city in the world by 2020, The City of Vancouver makes it easy to park your environmentally friendly mode of transportation.

Metered spaces for motorcycles and scooters

There are more than 200 motorcycle parking spaces, including more than 100 metered spaces, that can be used only by motorcycle and scooter drivers. These spaces are marked with:

• Green-topped meters
• Motorcycle parking signs
• White painted zones

Regular parking meter spaces

• Any registered vehicle can park in a regular parking meter space
• Motorcycle and registered scooter drivers get a discount when using PayByPhone
• If you do not have a license plate for your electric scooter, you must follow the same rules as a cyclist, and cannot park in regular metered spaces

Space sharing

If there is already a motorcycle or scooter in a parking space, you can share the spot if there is room. The rules are:

• All vehicles must fit within the painted lines
• If the meter displays time on the meter head, all bikes in the space are paid for 
• If the meter displays flashing zeros, only bikes with an active PayByPhone transaction for the space are paid — unpaid bikes will be ticketed
