The Winnipeg Parking Authority has eliminated processing fees when using the PayByPhone mobile app to pay for parking in Winnipeg.
By eliminating the fees, the City hops to remove its reliance on costly parking infrastructure (such as meters and having to collect cash from them) while encouraging service adoption.
The PayByPhone app is currently processing over 40,000 parking transactions per month in Winnipeg. The App also includes features such as parking reminders and a quick way to extending parking times to avoid tickets.
“PayByPhone is the most convenient way to pay for parking,” said Donna Olson, WPA Manager of Operations. “We are excited to waive the transaction fee for drivers so that now you’re just paying for parking.”
