The City of Timmins has partnered with HotSpot to improve parking options in Timmins’ paid parking areas. Hotspot launches April 4 at meters and lots within the downtown core. With a few simple taps on your mobile phone, you can pay for parking, add time, and refund unused parking time on the go.
HotSpot has a number of built-in features to save you time and money. There are a variety of payment methods that can be used with the app including Visa debit. The app uses a virtual wallet, which you top up to reduce transaction fees. If you return to your vehicle early and end your session, a refund for any unused time is returned to your virtual wallet.
“Our new parking app solution adds to the convenience and ease that our residents are already used to,” says Sherry Laneville, Supervisor of Enforcement Services. “This is a more robust option with features that make avoiding parking tickets and additional fees even easier. The app is a great option, but all existing payment methods at pay stations and meters will also remain available.”
You can also pay for parking tickets and purchase monthly parking permits at anytime through the app. HotSpot will even notify you when a monthly parking pass is set to expire. Of course, you can also continue paying your parking tickets or purchasing permits in person at Service Timmins in City Hall.
Get ready to use HotSpot starting April 4. HotSpot is available to download from Google Play and App Store.
