Full Circle Enforcement: Connecting Permits and Tickets with T2 Systems’ UPsafety®

Parking enforcement and permitting touch every part of a city’s operations — from residents and guests to enforcement officers and city leadership. Too often, these processes are fragmented across multiple systems. That leads to inefficiencies, frustrated constituents, and lost revenue opportunities.

UPsafety®, T2 Systems’ modern parking enforcement and permitting solution built from decades of feedback from city parking leaders, changes that by connecting permits and tickets in one seamless platform. Here’s how.

The Resident/Guest Parking Experience

For residents and visitors, the permit and ticket journey should be simple and stress-free. Unfortunately, outdated or siloed systems often create the opposite: long waits, confusing processes, and limited payment options.

UPsafety makes the experience seamless by offering:

• Easy online permit applications and renewals with automated approvals.
• Flexible payment options, including QR code payments and instalment plans.
• Transparent communication through automated notices and reminders.

The result? Increased compliance, better payment collection, and consistent revenue generation. 

The Parking Enforcement Officer Experience

Enforcement officers are on the frontlines of compliance, and their tools can make or break efficiency. Handwritten tickets or outdated handhelds waste time and increase the likelihood of errors.

With UPsafety, officers are equipped with:

• Mobile handhelds for quick ticket issuance in 30 seconds or less.
• Digital chalking and ALPR to enforce timed and paid parking effortlessly.
• Mandated photo evidence options, ensuring every citation is backed by proof to reduce appeals.

This not only speeds up enforcement, but also increases officer safety and confidence.

The Back-Office Experience

Behind the scenes, clerks and administrators often bear the burden of fragmented processes. They’re tasked with reconciling reports, handling appeals, and ensuring revenue collection — all while juggling multiple systems.

UPsafety helps streamline operations with:

• Intuitive dashboards that deliver real-time insights.
• Automated notices and hearing workflows to reduce manual workload.
• Court-ready case files that make it easier to resolve disputes and reduce appeals.

By simplifying these workflows, cities can operate more efficiently and reduce administrative costs.

Customer Success in Action

Municipalities across the country are already seeing the benefits of T2 Systems’ UPsafety:

• Shreveport, LA collected nearly $17,000 in just four months using payment plans while providing flexibility to residents.
• The Borough of Gettysburg, PA manages 20+ permit types in-house, using mandated photos to reduce disputes and dashboards to simplify monthly council reporting.
• The Village of Pelham, NY overcame poor vendor support by switching to UPsafety, gaining unlimited permits, mandated photos, and streamlined court operations to reduce appeals.
• Allentown, PA transformed outdated workflows into a modern digital operation, empowering officers and back-office staff with real-time visibility.
