Changes to the Scranton Parking System
Community Development Properties Scranton, Inc. (an affiliate of Grow America), has finalized a bond restructuring for the Scranton Parking System. This refinancing strengthens the financial stability of the system and supports continued investment in parking infrastructure, technology, and service.
With the closing complete, two new changes will be coming to the Scranton Parking System.
1. Expanded Enforcement Hours for On-Street Parking
On-street parking enforcement hours will expand beginning Monday, August 18, 2025. Enforcement will now run Monday – Friday, 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM.
2. Credit Card Processing Fee
Park Scranton will introduce a $0.15 processing fee for credit card transactions to cover merchant processing costs. This change will take effect January 1, 2026
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:
- One or more outstanding citations involving ADA parking.
- Three or more outstanding parking citations.
- 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.
- Visit ujsportal.pacourts.us/CaseSearch to check with the Scranton magistrate.
- Search the City of Scranton’s patron portal for any outstanding violations: https://www.tocite.net/cityofscranton/searchticket/index/parkingtickets.
