In the San Francisco Bay area, there are stickers for cars of people who live in the city (for the popular cities, like San Francisco or Berkeley) who can park their car for free and people outside of the city have to pay to park. I also know that the major bridges do have a RFID tag so cars that have already paid can cross the bridge without crossing a toll, and if you try and cheat through, there is a camera to take pictures.

I think it makes sense to implement similar tolls or parking costs for those non-residents who are making frequent use of the service. As a suburban city, I think Calgary has to have the implement suburban city budgeting rather then plan it like a single city.
