The world of high-tech parking arrangements is coming to Whitehorse.

Starting May 29, residents and visitors in the city will be able to pay for parking using the HotSpot app.

Through the app, drivers will be able to use the HotSpot Wallet to pay for their stall, avoid tickets with alerts and remote top-up, and even use remaining time at another stall if they move spots.

Parking fees and time limits will remain the same, the city said Wednesday.

HotSpot users will be charged a convenience fee of 25 cents per session.

However, instead of the convenience fee, users can buy a monthly subscription for $2 or an annual subscription for $20 to save even more.

Coins will still be accepted at all stalls.

The city is inviting motorists to download the app and create their accounts today.
