Passport’s Enforcement Trends Survey Reveals Importance of Using a Single Source to Manage Parking and Mobility Needs

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

The 24-page report provides valuable insights into parking enforcement trends such as collection compliance, and revenue growth as a result of utilizing a digital parking management solution, among many others. The findings are especially timely to help those responsible for a city’s parking program to bring data to the table to address short- and long-term community needs.
