Copilote+ App and Pay Stations

New payment solution

Panneau de stationnement payant

The new parking payment solution based on license plate numbers offers improved and simplified technology for a better user experience.

It has several advantages and new features:

  • Withdrawal of space numbers
  • New Copilote+ application
  • New pay stations
  • Additional contactless payment methods
  • Single payment to access multiple sectors

New signage with a P$ sign and arrows indicates street sections where parking is permitted and paid. It is your responsibility to read and validate the pay hours and pay accordingly.

Copilote+ application

Copilote Plus

The Copilote+ application allows you to pay for parking on-street or in a city parking lot simply and securely. It offers many advantages:

  • Remote payment
  • Adding Non-Overlapping Times
  • Stopping time (banked in wallet)
  • Registering multiple license plates
  • Sending alerts when time has expired
  • Easy access to history

Three easy steps:

  • Download the app and log in with your e-mail address
  • Enter your vehicle's license plate
  • Add a payment method

You’re now ready to park!

Look for the signs to identify the pay zones and choose the length of time you'd like to park. As long as your payment is active, you can move your vehicle to any pay street in the city without having to pay again.

Download Copilote+ for free in the Apple Store and on Google Play.

Pay stations

Borne de stationnement Copilote Plus

A total of 143 pay stations are located on the various streets where paid parking is available. Pay-and-go operation is quick and easy.

Three simple steps:

  1. Memorize your parking space number. Tip: take a photo of it using your phone so you don’t forget it.
  2. Pay at the nearest pay station by following the on-screen instructions. All major payment methods are accepted (credit card, debit card, contactless payment and cash).
  3. Take your coupon and go. The coupon indicates the amount paid and the parking expiry time. There's no need to return to your vehicle to display the coupon.

You can add time to your parking session by re-entering your license plate number. The added time will be added to the time remaining in your session.

The current rate is $0.75 for each 15 minutes ($3.00 for 60 minutes).
