Imperial Parking Canada Corporation (Impark) has deployed its hangTag app at parking facilities which is said to allow parkers to locate facilities on a map, view lot details, get driving directions, and pay without going to the meter. It also provides an early notification when a session is about to expire, allowing users to extend time from their phone.

Impark plans to expand the service through its operations in the U.S. and has over 860 locations across Canada.

The app is currently available for use at parking facilities in Vancouver and the B.C. Lower Mainland, Kelowna, Kamloops, Prince George, Whistler, Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon, Regina, Winnipeg, London, Hamilton, Toronto, Ottawa and Halifax.

Gordon Craig, Impark's president of Canadian operations, said: "Impark is excited to deliver this innovative and improved digital experience to our customers.  We conducted extensive consumer research into what parking app users would find most valuable, and hangTag precisely matches those results. We're confident that parkers will appreciate the new search features, and with the ability to easily add more time as needed, they can park with the peace of mind that they won't overstay.  In addition, we know that being able to access parking receipts from the app is an easy and secure way to track those business expenses."
