Modernize Your City's Parking Management

Transform how citizens find towed vehicles, pay fines, and interact with city services. Towback reduces police workload while improving public trust.

The Current Process: Fragmented & Manual

When a vehicle is towed in your city, here's what citizens must do:

Current Flow (Today)

1

Call Police Non-Emergency Line

Citizen calls (301) 985-5060 to confirm if their vehicle was towed. Wait times often exceed 10+ minutes.

2

Determine Total Fines & Fees

No clear pricing upfront. Citizen must call or visit in person to learn what they owe before finding the vehicle.

3

Pay All Fines In Person or Online

Requires traveling to police dept or managing multiple payment systems. Only after payment is made can they proceed.

4

Get Towing Company Info

Only after fines are paid, police provide towing company name and location. Then citizen must contact tow lot.

5

Travel to Tow Lot & Retrieve Vehicle

Must arrange transportation to lot during business hours. Additional storage fees accumulate daily.

The Real Cost

For Citizens

  • Unclear costs — no price transparency
  • Multiple phone calls to different departments
  • Mounting storage fees while navigating the system
  • Loss of trust in municipal services

For Your Police Department

  • Hundreds of phone calls weekly about towed vehicles
  • Officers spend hours answering non-emergency inquiries
  • No visibility into real-time tow yard inventory
  • Angry residents = negative community relations

The ParkMobile Precedent

Similar digital parking initiatives have transformed how cities and citizens interact with parking services.

How ParkMobile Changed the Game (and What We Can Do Better)

The Transition: When ParkMobile rolled out in cities nationwide, it seemed strange at first—both for residents and city officials. People were used to parking meters or paying in person. But over time, the benefits became undeniable.

What Worked:

  • Citizens found parking information instantly, 24/7
  • Faster transactions meant better cash flow for cities
  • Police and city staff were freed from administrative work
  • Public trust improved as the process became transparent

Where We Go Further: Towback builds on this proven model. We add vehicle delivery for citizens who can't reach the tow lot and integration with municipal payment systems—making the entire experience even more seamless.
