New parking permit form

When certifying parking permits for clients, NPs need to ensure that they sign the most recent form.

In January 2006, the Ministry of Transportation introduced the Accessible Parking Permit (APP) program to replace the Disabled Person Parking Permit (DPPP) program. APP uses different eligibility criteria to assess applicants. The Ministry has not accepted the DPPP form since Feb. 1, 2008.

Because some Ministry officials are not yet familiar with NP as a protected title, the College recommends that NPs sign the APP form with the RN(EC) title during this transitional time.

You can download the new “Application for Accessible Parking Permit” form (SRLV-129 07-08) from the Ministry’s website, www.mto.gov.on.ca. It’s also available at ServiceOntario driver and vehicle licence issuing offices.
