**CITY OF TIMMINS NEWS RELEASE**

The City of Timmins has expanded its relationship with Passport to provide complete convenience for parking related matters.

The City of Timmins has been focused on streamlining the process of paying parking tickets and purchasing parking permits for the past few months – looking into various options in an effort to make these processes easier, faster and more convenient.

We are pleased to announce the launch of our complete Passport parking system, which accomplishes all this through a few simple taps on your personal computer or cellular device.

As of Tuesday, October 9, you will be able to pay parking tickets and/or purchase monthly parking permits online seven days a week, 24 hours a day! No more need to race around on your lunch hour, or before work to get these tasks done.

We invite you to get started by visiting www.timmins.ca

If you wish to continue paying your parking tickets or purchasing permits in person, you may continue to do so through the help of our friendly staff at Service Timmins, located on the first floor of City Hall.
