To help lower the effect of high parking fees in the urban Toronto area, the Green P Mobile Pay platform in conjunction with the Toronto Parking Authority has put together a parking coupon initiative. The program will offer drivers redeemable discounts to local businesses in light of the high hourly parking rates. The offers are exclusive to lots in the Liberty Village area, and will help to improve the community as well as connect consumers to local businesses.
The platform is designed so that drivers paying for their parking via the Green P Mobile Pay app are able to check into the lots throughout the Liberty Village area and receive a text containing a link to a coupon at a shop or eatery in the area. Coupons include items such as 2-for-1 pizza or grocery discounts, as a way to make a $3-4 parking fee that much more worth it.
