Brampton, ON, August 17, 2026 – HONK, North America’s leading provider of contactless parking payment solutions, today announced a partnership with the City of Brampton to launch its mobile parking platform across municipal parking garages in downtown Brampton. Designed around complete driver choice, the platform gives motorists the flexibility to manage parking through an account-based app or skip registration altogether with fast guest checkout via QR code and text-to-pay.

Through this integration, drivers accessing Brampton’s downtown municipal garages now have more ways to pay for parking. Whether opting to set up an account for regular use or utilizing no-sign-up guest payment options on the spot, drivers can pay remotely from the ease of their phone, receive expiry notifications, and extend their sessions with a single tap without having to return to their vehicles.
“We are thrilled to partner with the City of Brampton as they take this important step in modernizing their municipal parking infrastructure,” said Michael Back, Founder and CEO of HONK. “HONK is already a trusted fixture for drivers across Ontario and the GTA, and bringing our technology to Brampton is a natural expansion of our footprint in the region.”
Drivers in Brampton can use HONK across its downtown municipal garages through four flexible channels:
Website: Pay directly via web browser at honkmobile.com.
HONK App: Download the free app on iOS or Android to find parking, pay, and track sessions.
QR Code: Scan the QR code on signage located throughout garages for instant payment.
Text-to-Pay: Text the posted Zone ID in the garage to receive a secure payment link.
