HONK expands to City of Kingston on-street locations for convenient, cashless parking payment

The City of Kingston has expanded HONK to on-street parking locations, making it easier for drivers to pay for parking through a safe, secure and user-friendly system. 

This convenient service, previously available at select municipal parking lots and accessible on-street parking spaces, offers drivers flexibility in how they pay. They can use the mobile app or scan a QR code posted on-site for a quick and contactless experience. 

Scanning the QR code loads a guest checkout page directly on the driver’s phone, allowing payment without downloading the app or registering an account—an ideal solution for visitors to the city or infrequent on-street parkers. 

The HONK app allows drivers to store unlimited vehicles and payment methods, manage receipts, access parking history, and add more time using their phone or tablet.   

On-street parking payment options include cash, debit, credit, Apple Pay and Google Pay. 

“This expansion provides residents and visitors with more flexibility, improving the parking experience while offering a quick and secure way to manage their parking,” says Laird Leggo, Manager, Licensing, Parking Operations & Policy. “Whether users prefer the QR code for convenience or the app for more frequent use, both options support a connected and accessible community.” 

“We’re thrilled to expand HONK’s presence in Kingston by bringing our contactless payment solutions to on-street parking,” says HONK CEO, Michael Back. “This partnership offers drivers a seamless and secure way to manage parking, whether through our mobile app or the convenience of a quick QR code scan. By providing flexible options that cater to all types of parkers, we’re making parking more accessible and stress-free for both residents and visitors.”
