A Relationship Framework is City Council's governing instrument used for setting out the specific mandate, delegations of authority, legislative framework, policy directions and accountability for City Agencies, and their relationship to the City of Toronto.

This Relationship Framework reflects the Toronto Parking Authority's mandate in Chapter 179 of the Toronto Municipal Code, Parking Authority, subsequent Council decisions pertaining to the Agency, and applicable policies and legislation.

The City Manager's report with the Relationship Framework was considered and received by the Board of Directors of the Toronto Parking Authority on May 27, 2022. It is now being submitted to City Council for approval.
