More than 57 percent of parking administrators surveyed digitally enforce their curbs

Charlotte, N.C. (April 13, 2022) — Transportation software and payments company Passport recently surveyed more than 8,000 parking officials including municipalities, parking authorities and universities from across the United States to report on their enforcement experience. The company analyzed trends and summarized the findings in a concise report, that is available here for download. 

• Speed and accuracy of enforcement: More than 46 percent of respondents said it takes them less than one minute to monitor and issue a citation
• Dedicated parking enforcers: Nearly 78 percent of respondents employ between 1-10 dedicated parking enforcement officers
• Key integrations: 70 percent of respondents prioritize license plate recognition as an integration within their enforcement solution
