Street Parking Enforcement Specialty Vehicles
Specialized vehicles to maximize safety & efficiency.
Parking enforcement includes any activity that’s executed by authrorized personnel to protect, maintain, and ensure regulations are followed in designated parking areas. In summary, this keeps folks honest when it comes to parking their vehicles which ensures parking areas are safe, spots are available, payment is being processed all while avoiding any disruption or inconvenience to traffic or folks that may be in the area. These items can be effectively achieved when you and your team is equipped with the proper tools to do just that. When a police department adds these vehicles to their fleet, they also gain the flexibility of increasing their effective maneuverability when conducting law enforcement operations.
Time, Manpower, Cost, & Efficiency.
What we can get done in a day, how many people we need, how much it’s going to cost, and ways to best streamline the process — These base items to consider are applicable to most any industry. In the world of parking enforcement, you have some options. When it comes to street parking, it can be relatively simply enforced by a single person. The challenge comes into play when there are a multitude of blocks someone is responsible for. Between the distance to travel, parking meters to check, and citations to issue, it’s an absolute must to equip parking enforcement officers with the proper tools. This includes considering everything from their uniform, radios, citation distribution methods (Digital LPR, booklet/pens, etc.), defensive items, on down to any required vehicles needed for the job. All of these items can severely impact the officer’s efficiency in the role.
The two most impactful items for Parking Enforcement Officers include LPR (License Plate Reader) Technology and Specialty Vehicles. LPR devices are paired with digital parking meter systems and allow for officers to scan license plates as they patrol their area of responsibility. These will check to see if the registration is currently paid up. If they’re not, the officer prints out or writes up a citation for the vehicle in question and moves along to the next. Pair this system with a purpose-built Westward Go-4 parking enforcement vehicle, and you can see how much quicker the process can go. While coasting slowly past 15 cars in a line, scanning each one as you go you can cover far more ground in comparison to the traditional method of walking up to each meter, squinting to see how much time is left on the meter, and moving on to the next area. The beauty of the Westward Go-4 and the Westward Max-EV 3 specialty vehicles is they have such a narrow footprint, they can be navigate through traffic and complete the job without causing any additional obstructions in the flow of traffic.
