About Our Service
ActivityTracker is a unique approach to enforcement of parking and towing policies
for associations, property managers, parking committees or on-site security patrols. This
internet-based service tracks guests, citations, parking and towing issues. By using Mobile PC screens,
ActivityTracker can instantly report a vehicle's tow-eligibility right on-the-spot.
One of the obstacles to effective parking enforcement is the requirement to track guest
parking privileges and citations issued to improperly parked vehicles. ActivityTracker significantly
reduces this labor and record-keeping overhead while providing the convenience of 24/7 access.
Conventional Approaches
The task of enforcing parking rules and regulations on private property often falls
on the shoulders of the Owners Association. Local law enforcement agencies may enforce city or
state vehicle codes but fall short of enforcing the Association's parking and towing policies.
Associations often utilize volunteer committees to accomplish their enforcement goals. Private security
patrols are also utilized for parking enforcement. The responsibility for keeping track of permits and violations falls
somewhere between the enforcement committee, security company or property manager.
The overhead of maintaining records can be overwhelming and often leads to a high incidence
of wrongful tows. Reimbursement of wrongful tows is a direct out-of-pocket expense for the
Association -- not to mention the ill will that is created between the vehicle owner and the
Association.
Track License Plates -- Not Owners
One unique aspect of the ActivityTracker enforcement model is the focus on tracking
anonymous license plates. There is no requirement to maintain lists of residents or the vehicles
that they own. This greatly simplifies the administration of the database. As vehicles are found to
be in violation of parking rules, their license plates are recorded in the ActivityTracker
system. By tracking the frequency of citations and their timestamps, ActivityTracker
can swiftly and objectively assess a vehicle's eligibility to be towed.
