Barrie residents can now apply for their digital waterfront parking permit online.
It allows them to park for free at select waterfront locations in the city through the HotSpot app and replaces the hangtag waterfront parking pass system.
“Residents will enjoy the many benefits of a digital permit, like never having to worry about forgetting a hangtag pass again, or the ability to register all of their vehicles as there is no longer a limit to the number of permits per address,” says Brent Forsyth, Director of Transit and Parking. “Each digital waterfront parking permit will be tied to a specific licence plate, so the City can verify if the vehicle has a permit through the plate number, eliminating the need for a physical hangtag on the vehicle. Once their permit is active, residents do not require anything to enjoy free parking at the applicable waterfront areas.”
Residents have almost two years to transition to the digital permit, with hangtag passes expiring December 31, 2023.
To apply for the digital permit, residents will need their vehicle ownership information and proof of residency documentation (i.e. driver’s licence, utility bill, cell phone bill, lease agreement, etc.).
Residents and non-residents can follow the detailed instructions available at barrie.ca/WaterfrontParking to apply for their digital permit/s through the HotSpot app or website (htsp.ca).
