Vaughan,
ON on December 6, 2007 –
The
City of Vaughan has launched a website application for paying
parking tickets online. This new feature is an example of
e-government services that employ web-based computer technologies to
allow the electronic exchange of information between the City and
its residents and businesses.
“We are introducing e-government services to improve
the efficiency of our service delivery and for the convenience of
our residents,” said Mayor Linda Jackson. “This is just one example
of how the City of Vaughan is moving forward to provide better
access to public services.”
The Ticket Online Payment service is available on the
City’s website at
www.vaughan.ca under the Featured Project section or the
Online Services pull-down menu.
Users are required to enter their parking ticket
number, licence plate information and the province where the licence
plate was issued. Users then select the ticket or tickets they wish
to pay and enter their credit card information. Acceptance or
refusal of payments is controlled by the financial institution that
issued the credit card. There is a $2 convenience fee charged to the
user’s credit card which is collected by the provider of the
service.
The online payment feature is provided by
PayVaughanTicket.com, owned by Groupe Techna Inc. User information
is not shared with third parties and computer “cookies” are not used
by PayVaughanTicket.com. They employ a secure connection using the
latest technology to ensure the safe processing of transactions.About
