Better for drivers. Better for enforcers. ✅ The Barnacle reduces time spent in traffic, eliminates heavy lifting, and streamlines enforcement from deployment to release. That's a win for everyone.

The Barnacle is intentionally placed to block the driver's view, encouraging motorists to resolve the violation before getting back on the road.

🌟 Enforcer Spotlight: Tanya Finney 🌟 Meet Tanya, a dedicated member of the team who has worked at the Navy Yard since 1989.

One of Tanya's favorite parts of the job is watching the parking industry grow and evolve over the years. Her commitment and experience have made her a valuable part of the team for decades.

Outside of work, Tanya enjoys spending time with her grandson, taking salsa classes, and relaxing with an episode of Columbo, a glass of w**e, and popcorn. Fun fact: she plays the drums and hopes to learn the piano one day! 🥁🎹

When it comes to The Barnacle, one of Tanya's favorite things is the curiosity it sparks. She enjoys seeing people stop to ask questions, learn how it works, and watch it being deployed for the first time.

Tanya is especially proud of her long career at the Navy Yard and her daughters.

Her advice for new team members? "Come to work, be on time, and be dedicated."

Thank you, Tanya, for your years of dedication, hard work, and service. We're proud to have you a part of the team! 👏💛

408,903 operator hours saved by eliminating tow-truck coordination.
That's time agencies can spend focusing on enforcement, operations, and serving their communities instead of managing tows.
