New Block-by-Block Numbering for PayByPhone Mobile Parking Payment App

Last update: June 22, 2021

The Winnipeg Parking Authority and PayByPhone are changing the four-digit location numbers for mobile parking payments to new six-digit numbers that are unique to each block face (the specific side of the street between two intersections).

Beginning this week, new signs will be installed to help users quickly identify their location number. A new map feature in the PayByPhone app will also allow customers to find the correct location number automatically using location services on their mobile device.

Payments using the current four-digit location numbers will be accepted until September, as signage is transitioned.

City expands mail-out of parking penalty notices beginning May 25, 2021

Last update: May 21, 2021

Effective Tuesday, May 25, the City of Winnipeg will expand mailing out penalty notices for the following existing parking offences:

• Stopping where stopping is prohibited
• Parking where parking is prohibited
• Double parking
• Parking on a boulevard
• Parking in the wrong direction

These offences will be recorded using the City’s existing fleet of vehicles equipped with automatic licence plate recognition technology, increasing compliance through more efficient enforcement across the City. Currently the City mails out penalty notices for parking in fire lanes and in school zones (for vehicles parked on a boulevard, contrary to the flow of traffic, double parked, or anywhere else where parking or stopping is prohibited.)

The change will improve the safety of enforcement officers, bystanders, and other drivers by reducing the potential for confrontations. It is also anticipated to assist traffic flow during peak hours, as officers won’t always need to stop their vehicles in a lane of traffic to issue a penalty notice. Officers will continue to hand-deliver penalty notices to vehicles when necessary.

Registered vehicle owners will receive a penalty notice including a photograph of the offence within seven days of mail out. Residents can contest a ticket online or by contacting 311. Contesting a ticket in person is temporarily unavailable due to COVID-19 measures.

Updated paystations will list the new rates on the machine as well as displaying a "New rates in effect" sticker to advise the rate reduction has been completed.

Existing Scratch N' Park Meter Passes will continue to be honoured for hourly parking. Unused Scratch N' Park meter passes can be exchanged in store for new High Demand or Low Demand passes by paying the difference in value.
