City of Windsor Parking App Service Uptake is Positive

The City of Windsor says the new Parking App service is showing positive results. The first month of operation ended with 2,200 transactions being completed.

“We’re very pleased,” said Parking Compliance and Enforcement Supervisor Bill Kralovensky.  “We’ve done just a minimal amount of marketing because the name of app is actually going to change soon, but it’s working well.”

The company providing the app is Passport Parking Inc, and its Canadian arm is called Passport Canada, though it has nothing to do with actual citizenship/travel passports. It’s a parking app service that will be changing its name soon due to the confusion the name causes with the federal government’s official passport operation.

Information about the app has been placed on City of Windsor parking meters and pay units directing interested users to visit online through their smart phone.  Once there, users are able to download the Pay for Parking App and then pay for parking at the click of a button.

Coins Still Accepted

The new app doesn’t replace coin operations in Windsor, so drivers who wish to use coins rather than the app that links to their credit card are still be able to do so.

The new service began December 18, 2017.
