    Town of The Blue Mountains Launches New Digital Parking Enforcement System

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    Beginning June 16, 2025, the Town of The Blue Mountains is implementing a new, cloud-based parking enforcement system offered through GTechna. The new platform will replace the previous paper-based process and aims to enhance the efficiency of parking enforcement services for both the Town and the public.

    The new cloud-based platform allows municipal officers to issue digitally printed tickets using mobile devices, with infraction details being instantly reflected in the Town’s system. The system also has improved ability to manage ticket aging, generate notice letters and automatically retrieve vehicle ownership information from the Ministry of Transportation Ontario (MTO), significantly reducing administrative barriers for staff.

    Parking tickets issued to unregistered residents or visitors can be paid or appealed anytime through the digital portal, making it easier and more convenient to manage parking matters. Please note that parking tickets may still be paid in person at Town Hall, where staff are available to provide assistance during regular business hours. For more information about parking, please visit www.thebluemountains.ca/parking.

    Later this summer, parking pass registration will also transition to the GTechna platform. Please note that residents who have already registered for a 2025 parking pass do not need to re-register until 2026. As part of this transition, residents will also be able to purchase Friends and Family Parking Passes for $5 per day for up to 14 calendar days. Additional details about this feature will be shared closer to its launch date.

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!
