Passport Brings Citation Platform to New York State’s Capital

Passport, the leader in parking enforcement and citation management software, has launched its platform for the City of Albany. The cloud-based solution provides an efficient and seamless workflow between the backoffice parking administrators and enforcement officers. By leveraging real-time data transfer, both parties have the ability to streamline operations in the citation process.

With Passport’s citation platform, officers in Albany utilize wireless handheld devices to enforce parking regulations throughout the city. Officers can print and issue citations, monitor parking, conduct digital chalking, and upload pictures of violations in real-time.

“We believe that providing a seamless parking and citation resolution solution to our parkers makes our users’ parking experiences more convenient than ever before,” said James VanApeldorn, Director of the Albany Parking Violations Bureau. “Passport’s mobile pay parking app and enforcement platform has helped us streamline our operations dramatically.”

“We are excited to partner with our clients who embrace our vision of improving the interactions within the community while supporting operational efficiencies.” said Bob Youakim, CEO of Passport. “The City of Albany’s parking platform completely challenges traditional solutions to simplify experiences and create value through accessing tools that allow them to make data-driven decisions.”

Albany’s parking administrators now have the ability to access real-time officer tracking, pull ticket density reports and analyze parking patterns, and even update parking rates through Passport’s platform.
