The City of Ottawa is exploring the idea of imposing a levy on private parking spots to help fund OC Transpo operations.

An east-bound O-Train pulls in to Rideau Station on the Confederation Line of the Light Rail Transit system in Ottawa, Ont.

"Much of the work completed to date has been focused on diving deeper into each lever to get a better understanding of the financial framework, analyze trends, and assess the impacts of various scenarios/options, supplemented by comparisons to other municipalities," Rogers said. Rogers notes levers could be implemented within a "year or two to solve the more immediate financial pressures as staff continue to advance work on the longer-term solutions."

Ottawa's Energy Evolution Strategy calls for the city to increase transit usage by seven per cent by 2050.
