NEWS RELEASE
GEORGIAN COLLEGE
*************************
On your next visit to Georgian’s Barrie campus you’ll be able to pay for parking on your phone.
Georgian is implementing parking improvements at the campus to improve the customer experience. Beginning Aug. 1, all parking lot gates will be removed and the college will roll out a new licence plate recognition system.
The new system will eliminate lineups at exit and provide a more efficient, safe, and user friendly method to purchase hourly or daily parking passes via Honk Mobile (by phone or kiosk) or at a pay-by-plate machine.
A key change for visitors to the campus is that parking should be paid upon arrival, rather than when leaving. If you don’t want to pay via your phone, there will be pay-by-plate machines and Honk Mobile kiosks in select college buildings including:
- Sadlon Centre for Health, Wellness and Sciences (M building)
- Automotive Business School of Canada (H building)
- University Partnership Centre (K building)
- Student Life Centre (J building)
Honk Mobile, a pay-by-phone parking app, can be used for hourly and daily parking in all the lots. The app is available for all iPhone and Android devices, as well as all internet-enabled PCs. It can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play.
Once you've downloaded the app, just follow the instructions. The process is quick, easy and secure.
As a bonus feature, Honk Mobile will send you a text message 15 minutes before your hourly or daily parking expires. You can top up your time on the mobile app from anywhere on campus.
Cash meters will still be available in some lots for a limited time but they will be removed during the next year. More information on parking at Georgian can be found online.
