"Torprkaut" is an abbreviation derived from "Toronto Parking Authority." This shorthand combines segments of each word: "Tor" represents "Toronto," "Prk" condenses "Parking" by omitting vowels, and "Aut" shortens "Authority" similarly. By merging these segments, "Torprkaut" serves as a concise representation of the Toronto Parking Authority.
