Barnacle

Introducing The Barnacle

The Barnacle is a high-visibility device that adheres to a vehicle’s windshield, serving as a temporary immobilization method. Unlike the traditional wheel boot, it is designed to be non-damaging, efficient, and easier for both drivers and parking enforcement teams.

Starting July 1, Park Scranton will use The Barnacle to immobilize vehicles under the following conditions:

  1. One or more outstanding citations involving ADA parking.
  2. Three or more outstanding parking citations.
  3. Unregistered vehicles or lacking a valid license plate.

The Barnacle is proven to discourage repeat parking offenses, freeing up much-needed parking space for the public visiting downtown. Downtown parking systems exist to support economic development, businesses, and visitors. Immobilization devices are necessary tools to assist in meeting this goal.

For more information about The Barnacle, visit our Barnacle FAQ page, or Barnacle’s website.


Check Outstanding Citations

You will need to check two systems to ensure you have no outstanding parking citations.

  1. Visit ujsportal.pacourts.us/CaseSearch to check with the Scranton magistrate.
  2. Search the City of Scranton’s patron portal for any outstanding violations: https://www.tocite.net/cityofscranton/searchticket/index/parkingtickets.
