Cashiers are a pay-by-plate, pay-by-zone system, and introduces multiple payment options such as credit card, debit card, smart pay by phone
PRESS RELEASE
REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY OF HALIFAX
*************************
On Monday 3 August, municipal staff will begin removing on-street parking meters and replacing them with paid parking signs in downtown Dartmouth as part of the Parking Technology Solutions Project.
This is the first step in the parking technology implementation plan as new digital payment stations will also be installed in the coming weeks. The payment stations are a pay-by-plate, pay-by-zone system, and introduces multiple payment options such as credit card, debit card, smart pay by phone (Apple and Google Pay), as well as cash payment and HotSpot mobile app. Payment is attached to the vehicle, not the parking lot. Vehicles can circulate freely within the parking area up to the purchase time or maximum time allowed.
Until all pay stations and parking zone signage have been installed throughout the municipality, the areas where the meters have been removed will become temporarily vacant parking spaces until the project is completed. We ask that residents help local businesses by respecting a two-hour limit in these areas without restrictions. Once the project is complete, residents will receive ample notice before the system is activated. All payment stations are expected to be installed by early autumn 2020.
Please note that under the provincial motor vehicle law, vehicles cannot be parked on public roads for more than 24 hours.
