The Barnacle: Making Parking Violations Suck A Little Less Since 2016

[The Barnacle @ThisIsBarnacle]

Parking enforcement isn’t just about compliance—it’s about the people doing the work every day.💪

That’s why the @cityofsavannah is piloting The Barnacle®—to give officers more flexibility in the field, reduce physical strain, and improve efficiency.

Everyone’s talking about @JustinBieber at @Coachella… but no one’s talking about who opened for him.

(ps congrats @billieeilish for being one less lonely girl🤗💜)

Scofflaw issues were creating real strain for the @CityofBptCT

Traditional boots? Bulky. Inefficient. No after-hours release meant motorists often waited until the next business day to resolve citations.

Barnacle introduced a modern alternative.

When ongoing challenges with unpermitted vehicles and repeat offenders began impacting @Yale campus operations, Christina Berrios, Field Operations Manager, knew they needed a better solution.

The @ChicoCityof Police Department was looking for a better alternative to towing and traditional booting. That's where Barnacle came in.

We’re proud to support agencies like Chico PD that are proving enforcement and community trust don’t have to be at odds.

This IPMI blog featuring Scott Rohde at Wesleyan University reinforces something we deeply believe: onboarding shouldn’t just teach employees what to do, it should teach them how to think.

Everyone’s racing toward “frictionless” digital enforcement but research in the Journal of Advanced Transportation confirms something important: immediacy changes behavior.

We’re excited to be heading to this year’s @IPMINow conference in Milwaukee — and even more excited to host a special event while we’re there.

Getting camera-ready as we prepare for our spotlight on All Access with Andy Garcia! It's been an incredible experience and we can't wait for our television premiere next month across @foxbusiness, @CNN, MSNBC, @CNBC, @TLC, Discovery Life, Family Channel, and CNN Headline News.

[The Barnacle @ThisIsBarnacle]

We’re thrilled to be featured in All Access with Andy Garcia and excited to showcase how Barnacle is redefining compliance across the parking world.

We just wrapped up our watch party and added the finishing touches on our segment!

Parking compliance is the #1 priority for 49% of cities surveyed by @PassportHQ.

Just 10% rely on towing or immobilization—mostly for repeat offenders.

Barnacles support visible, compliance-first enforcement with easy, on-the-spot payment.

[The Barnacle @ThisIsBarnacle]

Parking success isn’t citation counts anymore.

It’s compliance — and that starts by making it easy to do the right thing.

[Cities Today @Cities_Today]

New parking survey suggests that nearly half of cities now prioritise driving compliance rather than relying on penalties to correct behaviour.

@CityofBangorME’s new Barnacle program is working. 👀

After clearing $9K during its summer amnesty, the city has recouped another $2,500 since deploying Barnacles in October—resolving 119 overdue tickets (some with 20–30 each!).

@KansasCity tested three immobilization devices… and the Barnacle came out on top 🏆🐚

Lighter, smarter, safer — and easier on everyone involved (including the customers 😉).

Huge thanks to Jeffrey McLees and his team for leading the way in smarter enforcement with heart! 💛
