Question 1

How does LPR work?

Answer

Our license plate recognition cameras capture and process the details of vehicles entering and leaving the car park. The data is then queried to identify any vehicles using your facility without a valid permit, exceeding the maximum stay period or failing to pay for parking. After validating that a parking charge is due, the vehicle owner’s data is requested from the DMV and a parking charge is sent.

Question 2

What gives Etico Parking the legal right to issue parking charges?

Answer

Etico parking does not issue penalties, citations or parking fines as it does not have authority to do so. Instead Etico Parking issues parking charges as per the terms and conditions clearly posted on signage throughout your site.

Question 3

Are parking charges enforceable?

Answer

Yes. When a motorist fails to pay his parking charge the case will be pursued just like any other contractual agreement.

Question 4

Can you cancel a parking charge after it was issued?

Answer

Yes. Anyone receiving can appeal a parking charge. While we do our best not to if we send a parking charge to a legitimate user in error they can follow our frictionless appeals process.

Question 5

Answer

We do. All signage is provided and attached free of charge.

Question 7
