PAY BY MOBILE PARKING:

 The City of North Bay now makes it quick and easy to pay for parking using a mobile device. Conveniently pay for parking on the go or from the comfort of your own vehicle.

Passport is an easy and convenient way to pay for metered parking using a mobile phone or web browser. Drivers in the City of North Bay can use the PassportParking App to pay for parking at all of the on-street metered parking spaces and  municipal parking lots in the City. Passport allows users to pay for parking with their smart phone instead of having to pay with quarters at the meter. The PassportParking App also provides users the ability to extend their parking time remotely, up to the maximum time allowed on the posted parking regulation signs.
