This virtual permit system allows you to simply purchase and manage monthly passes from the comfort of your own home or while on the go by using the HotSpot Online Dashboard! Virtual permits are also available in-person at Town Hall, 400 Main Street.
Passes are $20 for a month and $2 for one day. Please be advised that there is an administrative fee charged when buying passes through the Hotspot app or dashboard. The fee is $0.50 for daily permits, and $2.00 for monthly permits plus HST. Have more than one vehicle?
