Abstract: A method and a system capable of capturing, storing and managing information relating to vehicle citations and/or vehicle violations that occur across one or more jurisdictions, locally, nationally and even internationally. The method and system also being capable of providing timely notification of the citations and/or violations, regardless of the jurisdiction, and regardless whether the owner of the vehicle is at home to receive a citation in the mail. The method and system still further capable of maintaining a complete and comprehensive list of all citations pending and paid, and an efficient and effective means to pay any fines associated with one or more citations in a single transaction.

Abstract: A parking enforcement system and method. The system and method may employ mobile technology and, in particular, a mobile device. From the perspective of the mobile device, a parking identifier is received, wherein the parking identifier corresponds with a parking space or corresponds with parking spaces. The mobile device then receives parking session information relating to the parking space or spaces corresponding with the parking identifier. The mobile device is capable of outputting this information in various forms to assist with parking enforcement. The parking session information may be transmitted to the mobile device from a network server in communication with the mobile device over the network.

Abstract: Methods of processing payment transactions associated with parking sessions and at least one parking related service. The payment transactions are between the parking supplier, for example, the owner or manager of a parking lot, and a payment provider, for example, a credit card company, on behalf of a user. The methods involve retrieving parking supplier information stored in a memory based on an identifier that defines the location of the parking session, and retrieving payment provider information stored in the memory based on an identifier that defines the user, and processing the transaction, where the amount or cost associated with the transaction is based on the duration of the parking session and whether the user opted to use the at least one parking related services.

Abstract: A method for processing a transaction for a parking session between a parking supplier and a payment provider on behalf of a user, wherein the user facilitates the transaction through a mobile computing device connected to a remote server, including, on the mobile computing device of the user, the steps of: storing a user identifier, first receiving a parking identifier, then sending the user identifier and the parking identifier to the server. The method also includes, on the server, the steps of: receiving the user identifier and the parking identifier, retrieving parking information based on the parking identifier; retrieving user information based on the user identifier, and processing a transaction between the payment provider and parking supplier, wherein the transaction amount is based on the duration of the parking session, wherein the parking session has a start time and an end time.
