Technology leader in curb management processes over 235MM transactions

Charlotte, NC – Passport, the technology leader in parking compliance and curbside payment solutions, demonstrated impressive growth in 2024, with continued momentum anticipated in 2025 and beyond. The Charlotte-based company has processed over 235MM transactions and $3.5B in curbside payments across paid citations, mobile payments, and parking permits. Passport’s daily peak transaction volume is ten times greater than the peak experienced by the largest publicly traded financial institutions in the U.S. Data also revealed that one in five Americans has interacted with at least one of Passport’s products, showcasing the company’s growing impact nationwide.

The company’s growth also underscores cities’ increasing importance on parking compliance and convenient payment solutions. Over the past 18 months, Passport has launched its parking compliance software in over 40 cities. More than half of these launches were with new clients, generating over $12 million in compliance and payments revenue on their behalf. Passport recently launched its advanced Photo Enforcement solution in five U.S. locations, including Atlanta’s Ponce City Market. The company also rolled out its integrated payments software in 43 locations, including its meter and pay station payment processing solution.

“2024 was an exciting year and a culmination of what we’ve built over the last fifteen years. In many ways, our team got back to the basics and settled in to drive creative approaches and solutions that help cities solve complex problems at the curb,” said Khristian Gutierrez, co-founder and CEO of Passport. “Passport is committed to partnering with cities to understand their unique needs to deliver tools that make their lives, and the lives of their communities, more convenient and efficient.”

The City and County of Denver, Colorado, recently partnered with Passport to upgrade its parking compliance and permitting technology. “Our partnership with Passport has enabled us to enhance our processes and innovate to improve compliance and provide better experiences for our residents and visitors,” said Nina Black, City and County of Denver.

Another significant milestone announced in 2024 was the expansion of Passport’s Partner Marketplace, a robust partner ecosystem that makes it easier for cities to manage multiple curbside offerings through one platform. The Marketplace includes over 60 partner integrations with leading technology providers like Automotus and Cleverciti and private operators like LAZ Parking, who help cities launch Passport products and solutions.

“At Passport, we’re committed to empowering our clients with a future-proof environment. Our modular, API-driven architecture allows us to scale storage and compute resources on-demand, enabling us to support over 850 transactions per second,” said Gene Rohrwasser, CTO of Passport. “This ensures that cities can grow without worrying about infrastructure limitations, giving them the confidence to focus on enhancing their services and building smarter, more connected communities.”

Passport supports more than 800 cities and private operators and has processed over $3.5B in curbside payments. For more information, including best practices, resources, and other reports, visit https://www.passportinc.com/.
