The capital city has awarded a contract for the supply of new cashless pay stations and parking meters.
The city says Cale Canada in partnership with EDC Corporation will supply new pay stations and meters that will include pay options including credit cards, debit cards and smartphones and will be configured with ‘tap’ card readers.
The exact locations of the pay stations are yet to be determined.
The city says all meters and stations will be cashless during the first year of operation, at which time the impacts of not accepting cash will be evaluated for council to determine the best long-term approach.
