iPAM: Municipal Parking Management
Parking management software for towns and cities. Camera-supported lots, free parking limits and extensions, permits and violations, with the rules and automation your city configures.
Outcomes
↑ 10–25% with self-service & virtual permits*
Permit adoption
↑ 15–35% with e-chalking policies*
Violator capture
↓ 30–50% with evidence packaging*
Dispute handling time
Indicative ranges, not a guarantee. Actual results depend on your town's parking volume, current process and policy.
Pricing
Most parking vendors hide pricing behind a demo call. We publish ours. Every town of the same size pays the same flat price, in writing, and the number you see here is the number your neighboring town sees too.

Frequently asked questions
Enforcement runs from a phone, and how plates are captured is a setting your administrators control, including manual entry only. If your town already owns parking hardware, we will evaluate compatibility during scoping.

Yes, iPAM integrates with EV charging networks to manage station reservations, track usage, handle billing, and enforce time limits. The system can prioritize charging spots for specific permit holders and send notifications when charging is complete.
iPAM supports merchant validation workflows where shoppers receive validation codes at point-of-sale. Merchants can be assigned validation quotas, and the system tracks usage for billing. Customers redeem validations through the mobile app or payment kiosks.

Three published tiers: Core at $7,500 per year for towns under about 10,000 residents, Standard at $14,500 for towns of 10,000 to 30,000, and Full at $19,500 for towns and small cities up to 75,000. Larger cities, counties, airports, and parking authorities get a custom Enterprise quote. Onboarding is included in year one and no hardware is required to start.
Your own purchasing policy decides that, and we work inside it rather than around it. If your policy calls for written quotes, we provide ours the same day. If it calls for a formal bid, we will say so up front and take part. Pricing is flat and public, so the paperwork is simple whichever path your policy sets.
Whatever the flat tiers cannot cover: custom modules, on-premise or dedicated cloud deployment, ERP integrations with SAP, Oracle, or Munis, parking hardware rollouts, SLA commitments, and a dedicated success manager. Typical Enterprise buyers are cities over 75,000, counties, airports, universities, and parking authorities. Contact us for scoping and a quote.
