More and more people are using Windsor's new parking app.

It was launched in December 2017 and hit  the 60,000-use mark this week.

Coins are still being accepted at meters, but by downloading the app, coins are no longer necessary.

Parking Compliance and Enforcement Supervisor Bill Kralovensky is thrilled with the response.

"We knew drivers would appreciate the convenience of no longer needing to search for change to park, but the uptake and feedback have been even better than we anticipated," he says.

He points out app usage is highest when students are around ranging up to 11%, compared to just under 8% during the summer.
