Passport Shares Top Parking Violations Across U.S. Cities, Offering New Insight Into Curbside Behavior

Charlotte, NC – Street sweeping, expired plates, and overtime parking top the list of the most common on-street parking violations across the U.S., according to new data released today by Passport, the most trusted technology partner for innovative curb management solutions. Analyzing tens of millions of citations from hundreds of cities and private operators across North America, Passport’s data reveals which violations occur most frequently and how cities can use digital enforcement tools to improve transparency, safety, and compliance. “Meaningful parking data goes beyond payment and citation counts, it provides a dynamic view of how people move through and interact with cities,” said Gene Rohrwasser, CTO of Passport. “With our platform, cities can shift from reactive enforcement to proactive curb management, making streets safer and more efficient, all while driving compliance.” The top 5 on-street parking violations nationwide include: Street sweeping - parked during scheduled cleaning. In the City of Denver, 1 in 3 tickets issued in 2024 were for street sweeping infractions. Meter violation – expired or unpaid meter. In the Chicagoland area, expired meters, street cleaning violations, and nighttime parking rule violations were the top three infractions. While Florida beach towns, where parking turnover is critical to accommodate needs, overtime parking is enforced more than meter payments Expired plate – out-of-date vehicle registration No standing zone/tow away – impeding traffic or emergency access No resident permit – unauthorized parking in residential zones Lesser-known infractions also have serious consequences, and data shows that more cities are increasingly focused on violations that affect public safety, such as parking in no-standing zones or ADA spaces. These violations may be fewer in number, but the public safety risks they address are greater. Among other citations issued nationwide, cities are enforcing violations like: “Daylighting” - a new initiative to address visibility and safety at intersections. It usually includes a physical barrier, such as posts or granite blocks, to prevent vehicles from parking next to intersections, and is already happening in cities like Berkeley, CA; Lancaster, PA; Orlando, FL; Portland, OR, and more. Parking too far from the curb  - most common in cities like New York and Chicago Blocking your own driveway  - most frequently enforced in New York City Parking during a "snow emergency" -  which can still be issued in 70°F weather Parking facing the wrong direction  - tickets issued mostly in Texas and California As cities rethink how curbs are used for parking, deliveries, transit, and pedestrians, Passport’s technology provides a single source of truth. By unifying paid parking, digital permitting, enforcement and curbside payment data, municipalities can better allocate resources, improve accessibility, and engage residents more transparently. Passport supports over 800 cities and private operators across North America and has processed more than $3.5 billion in curbside payments to date. With Passport’s platform, cities can attach photo evidence to citations, reducing unnecessary appeals while prioritizing safety violations. For more insights, visit passportinc.com About Passport Passport is the trusted technology partner for over 800 cities and private operators across North America, unifying paid parking, enforcement operations, and payment infrastructure into one platform. By simplifying how municipalities manage and monetize the curb, Passport empowers local leaders to boost compliance, unlock new revenue opportunities, and improve how people move around their communities. Passport helps cities thrive by delivering the tools and insights they need to meet evolving mobility challenges and create community-focused outcomes.

City of Passaic Installs Portier VISION Parking Guidance System in New Municipal Garage

Portier, a global leader in intelligent parking guidance and smart mobility solutions, is pleased to announce the successful installation of its Portier VISION camera-based parking guidance system at the newly opened Passaic Municipal Garage, a major infrastructure investment by the City of Passaic, New Jersey to ease parking congestion and support downtown growth. The system was delivered and installed by Portier’s U.S. integration partner, Precision Technology Solutions (PTS), known for deploying scalable, high-performance parking technologies nationwide. Located at Passaic and State Streets in the heart of downtown, the 300-space parking facility was designed to serve city government staff, commuters, and visitors to nearby shops, restaurants, and the soon-to-be-built bus depot. The garage features EV charging stations, designated short- and long-term parking areas, and enhanced security features. A key innovation is the implementation of real-time parking guidance powered by Portier VISION. The Portier VISION system uses advanced camera-based sensors to detect occupancy and guide drivers to open spaces using overhead LED indicators and dynamic digital signage. This technology significantly reduces the time drivers spend circulating in search of parking, easing traffic flow in and around the garage and enhancing the overall visitor experience. For this project, the installation includes both indoor and outdoor camera units – all integrated into a single, seamless user experience. At the core of the solution is Portier HOST, Portier’s powerful cloud-based management and analytics platform.

The platform is accessible from any device and allows for remote system management, automated reporting, and integration with third-party systems such as mobile apps or payment platforms. "By combining Portier VISION with the HOST platform, the City of Passaic gains a modern, data-driven approach to managing parking in a high-demand area," said Steve Gorski, Vice President of Portier USA.
