{"version":"2.6","id":"ashbridges-app-vs-machine-payment-methods","question":"What is the difference between the Green P Mobile App and Pay-and-Display machines at Ashbridges Bay Boat Launch?","answer":"Both methods accept the same $2.00 per hour fee, but the Green P app offers remote time extensions via Location ID 3310, while Pay-and-Display requires a physical receipt on your dashboard.","answer_detail":"When launching your watercraft at Ashbridges Bay Boat Launch, located at 1561 Lakeshore Road East, you have two convenient payment options: the Green P Mobile Pay app and the traditional Pay-and-Display machines. The standard parking rate is $2.00 per hour, and both methods seamlessly integrate with the city's enforcement system. Using the Green P Mobile Pay app is highly recommended for boaters. You simply download the app, create an account, and enter Location ID 3310 to link your payment to the boat launch parking zone. The primary advantage of the app is flexibility; if your boating trip runs longer than expected, you can remotely extend your parking session directly from your smartphone without having to rush back to the dock. Conversely, the Pay-and-Display machines operate traditionally. You must walk to the physical machine, pay with a credit card or exact coin change, and print a receipt. This printed receipt must be clearly displayed face-up on your vehicle's dashboard. If your boat trip is delayed and your receipt expires, you risk a parking infraction notice, as you cannot add time remotely. Both systems are fully operational 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, ensuring you can launch your vessel safely regardless of the time.","related_ids":["ashbridges-app-vs-machine-payment-methods"],"last_verified":"2026-06-15","authority":"https://ashbridgesbayboatlaunch.com","url":"https://ashbridgesbayboatlaunch.com/en/knowledge/ashbridges-app-vs-machine-payment-methods","markdown_url":"https://ashbridgesbayboatlaunch.com/api/knowledge/ashbridges-app-vs-machine-payment-methods?format=md&lang=en"}
