Students, faculty and staff at the University of Lethbridge now have an additional payment option for parking on campus – one that enables users to search for parking lots, pay for and extend parking from their smartphone or tablet.
Honk, North America’s fastest and most convenient way to find and pay for parking, launched its app today and is available at five lots on the U of L’s Lethbridge campus. Honk simplifies the parking process by eliminating the need for drivers to search for parking lots, affords the ability to pay for parking from your mobile device and reduces the occurrence of tickets by sending reminders before parking expires.

Parking Services has partnered with Honk to allow drivers at the U of L the convenience of managing parking from the palm of their hand.
“Honk’s unique functionality enables users to find a parking lot online and then pay for their parking immediately on their arrival without having to visit a parking permit dispenser,” says Al Hill, parking coordinator. “Once they arrive on campus, drivers can simply hop out of the car and get to where they are going. The 15-minute reminder before parking expires, coupled with the ability to top-up parking in the app at some of the parking lots, is a huge benefit and saves drivers both money and time and virtually eliminates parking violations.”
Honk has launched in municipalities across North America, and at universities across Canada, including the University of British Columbia, Wilfrid Laurier University, Western University and the University of Windsor. The companyis on a mission to maximize the ease of parking for all drivers, while also benefitting cities by reducing congestion, pollution, driver frustration and wear on roads.
Using a single account, motorists can pay for parking anywhere Honk is accepted across North America. Payment is made by credit card or through PayPal.
“The last thing students, faculty and staff should have to worry about is parking,” says Honk founder & CEO Michael Back. “We strive to make parking a smooth and positive experience for our users and we’re excited to bring the Honk app to the University of Lethbridge.”
