Enforcement

The way parking agencies approach technology is evolving. Not long ago, RFPs typically solved one problem at a time: pay stations, permit software, citation management, enforcement equipment. Today, agencies are asking a broader question. Instead of "What product do we need?" parking leaders are increasingly asking, "How do we modernize our entire operation?" What were once standalone technology purchases are becoming larger modernization initiatives, considering customer experience, data visibility, compliance, and integration as one strategy.

In this Learning Lab, Trellint explored how parking and mobility agencies are shifting away from traditional "rip-and-replace" technology projects and toward open ecosystem strategies. Rather than replacing entire platforms, agencies are increasingly integrating specialized technologies that work together while preserving existing investments.

A major change is coming to private parking operations in Pennsylvania. On July 17, 2026, Pennsylvania enacted House Bill 1862, a wide-ranging transportation bill that establishes a new framework for how private parking operators can issue charges and contact vehicle owners. The new requirements take effect July 1, 2027, giving operators time to prepare.

Parking enforcement has a perception problem, and according to Passport’s 2025 Parking Compliance Trends Report, 72% of compliance challenges stem from human factors rather than technology. That means the biggest obstacle between parking programs and their goals isn’t the tools -- it’s the relationship between enforcement and the public.

Miami, FL – TEZ Technology, the original innnovator of text-based valet and parking management and customer engagement solutions, and Survision, a global leader in vehicle identification technology, today announced a new integration between the TEZPARK Solution and Survision's PlatEnforce Mobile LPR solution.

East Lansing plans to use automated cameras to enforce parking rules, after the City Council approved a contract to install “SafetySticks” at its meeting Tuesday night.

An unpaid parking citation may seem like a small issue. One violation. One driver. One unpaid fee. But parking professionals know unresolved citations rarely exist in isolation. Often, they're the first sign of a larger challenge that can affect an entire parking operation. When violations go unpaid, repeat offenses often follow. Drivers who face few consequences may keep ignoring regulations, occupying spaces meant for permit holders, visitors, patients, students, or employees.

Miami, FL - HONK, a leading provider of digital parking payment solutions, and Survision, a global leader in vehicle identification technology, announced a new integration between HONK's parking management platform and Survision's PlatEnforce mobile LPR Solution.

Charlotte, NC – Passport, the most trusted technology partner for innovative curb management solutions, released new data showing continued momentum in how cities of all sizes are modernizing curb operations, as more cities actively evaluate enforcement technology solutions to upgrade outdated systems.

Boonton is joining other New Jersey towns by rolling out a pilot program that uses photographic technology to identify parking violators on Main Street. Beginning in July, the town will begin using SafetySticks “to enhance pedestrian safety and improve compliance with parking regulations in designated no parking areas,” a town announcement explained.

For years, cities faced a hard choice when modernizing parking and curbside operations: adopt an all-in-one platform and accept the trade-offs, or stitch together best-of-breed point solutions and manage the integration complexity. Rip-and-replace migrations only raised the stakes, often proving disruptive, costly, and slow to deliver.
