Fredericksburg Deploys SafetySticks to Protect Fire Lanes and No Parking Zones

The Hill Country destination of Fredericksburg, Texas, may have only about 12,000 residents, but it welcomes roughly 1.5 million visitors a year who come for its wineries, walkable Main Street and small-town charm. With 84 wineries in and around the community and a compact historic downtown, legal curb space is at a premium, especially near tasting rooms, restaurants and hotels. The City of Fredericksburg has installed 11 MPS SafetyStick® devices in some of its most sensitive curbside locations. The initial deployment, completed on August 26, focuses on prohibited parking zones and fire hydrants, where blocked access can slow emergency response and create dangerous conflicts between drivers and pedestrians. With only 37 full-time police officers, city leaders were looking for a way to extend their enforcement reach without pulling officers away from higher-priority calls. The SafetyStick® uses solar power, motion detectors and cameras to monitor no-parking areas and provide clear, time-stamped photo evidence of violations that local authorities can review and act on. “Illegal parking undermines the efforts of those who work hard and follow the rules, signaling that laws can be disregarded,” Lt. Seelig said. “The SafetyStick strengthens our ability to deter illegal parking and enforce compliance with parking regulations.” Fredericksburg selected MPS based on the company’s story and patented innovations in parking enforcement, as well as its track record helping other communities protect critical curb space in no parking zones, at bus stops, in bike lanes and around fire lanes. The SafetyStick® is designed as a force multiplier that supports existing enforcement staff, improves compliance in problem zones and makes it easier for residents, visitors and first responders to move through busy corridors. The new SafetySticks are expected to reduce illegal parking near hydrants and other restricted zones and to free up scarce legal spaces for people who are visiting Main Street, tasting rooms and other attractions. Over time, the Fredericksburg deployment will add another case study to the growing list of tourism destinations that are using smart, solar powered enforcement to keep streets safer and parking fairer for everyone.

Wilkes-Barre Expands SafetySticks to Keep Safety-Critical Zones Clear

The City of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania is expanding its SafetyStick® program after a successful first year of automated parking enforcement in high-risk curbside locations. What began as a small deployment of 10 devices downtown has grown into one of Municipal Parking Services’ flagship SafetyStick® programs, with the city now operating 42 units and planning to add 20 more in the coming months. The initiative focuses on illegal parking that creates safety hazards rather than routine meter enforcement. SafetySticks monitor handicap spaces, bus stops, fire hydrants, corners, commercial loading zones and other restricted areas where blocked access can put people at risk or slow emergency response. Proven Results in the First Year In a little over a year of operation, Wilkes-Barre’s SafetyStick® program has generated 9,883 citations for parking violations, uncovering the true scale of unsafe, previously under-enforced activity at key locations. Over that same period, the city received $126,135 in revenue from citations issued through the SafetyStick® program. Just as important as the revenue, city leaders report that citation volumes in the earliest deployment zones have begun to drop as drivers change their behavior. Fewer violations in those original locations suggest that motorists are learning to avoid unsafe stopping and parking where SafetySticks are installed, even as new devices are added in other areas. Expanding to School-Adjacent Corridors As the program has grown, Wilkes-Barre has pushed beyond the downtown core to address additional safety priorities and annoyance parking. New SafetySticks are being installed along Old River Road near Kistler Elementary School, where vehicles were previously parking on grassy areas and blocking sight lines when children were arriving and leaving. “By extending automated enforcement to school-adjacent corridors, the city aims to keep pick-up and drop-off zones clear and reduce risky driver behavior during the busiest times of day for pedestrians,” said Robert Sliker, head of parking enforcement. “We have parking enforcement officers, but they can’t be everywhere,” Mayor George Brown said in a recent interview with FOX56. A Safety-First Model for Other Cities Wilkes-Barre’s experience shows how cities can pair automated enforcement with a clear safety narrative to build public understanding and long-term compliance. Key elements of the city’s approach include: Starting with obvious safety hazards such as hydrants, corners, handicap spaces and bus stops to demonstrate why enforcement is needed. Using solar-powered, AI-enabled devices to provide continuous monitoring without major capital projects or added staff. Framing the program as a public safety initiative that protects residents, schoolchildren and emergency responders rather than a purely revenue-driven effort. Expanding in phases as results, community awareness and internal comfort with the technology grow. With dozens of devices already delivering strong results and additional SafetySticks on the way, Wilkes-Barre has become a leading example of how automated enforcement can improve safety, strengthen compliance and support city budgets at the same time.

When Policy Moves Faster Than Operations: Why the Parking Industry Must Pay Attention to Bills Like Florida’s HB 323

Every legislative cycle brings forward new ideas about how cities should manage parking, mobility, and the public realm. Most proposals are well-intentioned. Some even sound appealing at first glance. But every so often, a bill emerges that deserves the parking industry’s full attention because its implications reach far beyond the curb. Florida’s House Bill 323 is one of those bills. On the surface, HB 323 appears consumer-friendly: refunding unused parking time, extending grace periods before enforcement, and prohibiting certain uses of public property for paid parking. But underneath that simple narrative lies a much more complex reality that affects revenue stability, technology systems, curb management, university operations, and long-standing public and private partnerships. And this is not the first time we have seen an idea like this circulate. A few years ago, a similar concept surfaced in Iowa that proposed refunds for unused parking time or the ability for leftover minutes to automatically transfer to the next vehicle using the same space. The idea resonated with the public but unraveled quickly once cities, universities, and parking professionals explained the operational and fiscal consequences. The bill ultimately died before advancing. The lesson was clear:  Parking policy may seem simple from the outside, but the operational ecosystem behind it is anything but. In Iowa, the proposal collided with the realities of modern parking systems such as pay-by-plate technologies, LPR enforcement, turnover management, and the financial responsibilities that support local services. Refund mandates and time-transfer requirements introduced accounting complications, revenue instability, and enforcement challenges that could not be resolved with current infrastructure. The industry spoke up, and policymakers listened. Florida now faces a similar moment of decision, and the stakes are even higher. HB 323 extends beyond refunds and leftover minutes. It introduces statewide enforcement delays and eliminates many forms of public and private collaboration on public property. These collaborations support downtowns, campuses, tourism districts, and event venues across the state. The national parking community should care deeply about these conversations, even if the legislation is not in your state. What happens in one large state sets precedent for others. Bills spread. Ideas resurface. Once policy narratives take hold without industry input, they are difficult to unwind. This is the moment for parking and mobility professionals to engage rather than react. We are the practitioners who understand how these systems actually function.  We are the ones who see the downstream effects on safety, turnover, economic development, and municipal budgeting.  We are the ones who bridge technology, compliance, public expectation, and financial stewardship every day. If we want better policy outcomes, we must be part of shaping the conversation early. So here is the call to action: Stay informed. Track legislation in your state that touches the curb, parking enforcement, or public and private partnerships. Educate policymakers. Many lawmakers simply do not understand how operationally complex parking systems are, and they should not be expected to without our help. Share lessons learned. Iowa’s experience matters. Florida’s debate matters. Each gives us insight into how to frame the discussion constructively. Advocate proactively. Reach out before decisions are made. Once a narrative is set, it is far harder to change. Parking is not a passive industry. It shapes how cities move, grow, and thrive. Legislation that affects parking ultimately affects communities. Whether or not HB 323 passes, the conversation it sparks is an opportunity for our industry to show up, share expertise, and ensure that future policies strengthen mobility rather than disrupt it. Now is the time to engage. Brooke Krieger is a Regional Sales Director for Arrive. Brooke can be reached at brooke.krieger@arrive.com.

Moving from Parking Punishment to Proportionality

For decades, cities have relied on parking fines as static tools—anchored in tradition more than purpose. Yet as transportation networks grow more complex and streets become riskier, this status-quo approach is failing both residents and policymakers. It’s time to rethink how fines are structured so they not only influence behavior, but do so fairly and strategically. Today, fine schedules often apply harsh penalties to low-risk administrative violations while underpricing high-risk behaviors—like blocking fire hydrants—that endanger the public. This mismatch erodes trust, especially when lower-income residents face disproportionate financial hardship for infractions with minimal social impact. When penalties feel arbitrary, they are perceived less as tools for safety and more as regressive taxes. Data shows that deterrence hinges not just on penalty dollar value, but on its relevance—how well it aligns with risk, compliance value, and community context. Cities that recalibrate fines to reflect both severity and neighborhood realities can improve equity and collections while encouraging safer streets. Prioritizing smarter fine design, proportionality, and targeted enforcement could allow cities to shift away from blanket forgiveness programs—which require administrative lift without addressing root causes. Tools like dynamic pricing, location-based fines, and income-sensitive penalties can help cities strike the balance between fairness and impact. Some jurisdictions have already begun to reform fine structures: New York and Los Angeles are exploring income-based and data-driven fine optimization, respectively, while Chicago recently capped penalties for administrative violations. These efforts signal a growing recognition that fines should reinforce social value, not perpetuate inequity. By grounding enforcement in community impact, equity, and measurable outcomes, cities can treat fines as meaningful policy levers—not punishment.
