Parking and Transit Services

Four paid parking lots, including one at the Emergency Department entrance, are available at Sault Area Hospital for visitors and patients. A number of spots are designated in each lot for handicapped/disabled.


A $5.00 charge (loonies, toonies, quarters) must be paid upon exit. Visitors, patients and students who make frequent trips to the hospital have the option to purchase a parking card for $40.00 per month. If paying by credit card, no deposit is required, however, if paying by cash, cheque or debit, a $60.00 refundable deposit is required. Arrangements can be made through the Cashier’s Office directly off the lobby.

Change machines are located in the lobby Kiosk, Emergency department and on the first floor in the food court.

Sault Area Hospital parking lots and roadways are patrolled by hospital security and city police. Vehicles will be ticketed and may be towed if they are parked/stopped in fire and ambulance lanes, designated handicapped spots without proper permits, or on roads/other areas that are not designated parking lots/spaces.

Public transportation is available via two bus routes (Cedar Heights, North Street) with transit stops located near the west (lobby) entrance as well as along the southeast portion of the roadway surrounding the hospital. For more information, go tothe City of Sault Ste. Marie.
