New parking app launched by Montreal mobility agency

Montreal rolls out new app for paying street and lot parking.

Drivers who use their smartphones to pay for parking in Montreal are being urged to download the new Sustainable Mobility Agency’s parking app, as the old app is being phased out.

The old version will no longer be functional as of July 31.

The agency recently introduced the Mobicité app, which replaces the current P$ Mobile Service app and allows users to easily and securely pay for street parking and spots in many agency-managed lots using their mobile devices.

“With Mobicité, we are acquiring a real asset that supports our mission: making space-sharing more equitable and improving accessibility across the city for everyone,” the agency said in a statement.

“The Agency’s mobile app, which already has more than 800,000 users, has been recognized as a valuable tool to better inform the public—especially drivers—by helping them make better decisions and encouraging them to adopt new behaviours for more sustainable mobility.”

The new app includes similar features to the old one but adds a map that shows all paid parking managed by the agency, along with accessible parking spots and electric vehicle charging stations. It does not, however, display real-time availability of parking spaces.

The agency said it will continue to enhance the app over time with new features based on users’ needs. Users have until Dec. 15 to download their transaction history from the P$ Mobile Service app by accessing their account on the Montreal Sustainable Mobility Agency’s website.

The Mobicité app is available for free on the App Store and Google Play.
