Day Lots 1 to 5 and Oversized Lot ownership and management
The Resort Municipality of Whistler (RMOW) owns Day lots 1 to 5 and the Oversized Lot. Whistler Blackcomb manages snow clearing and traffic control in the lots. The RMOW provides pay parking equipment and enforces parking rules.
Revenue pays for operating the Day Lots and Oversized Lot, and is also invested in the lot capital reserves. Additional revenue funds community transportation initiatives such as transit.
A joint Day Lot Management Committee of two Resort Municipality of Whistler staff and two Whistler Blackcomb staff provide input into parking rates, maintenance, operations, and the budget.
