Robust Permit Management

TickeTrak’s robust permit management allows you to pre-validate permits for people who are eligible to receive them by creating people groups. You can create an unlimited number of people groups

Examples of people groups could be students or faculty/staff. You can also create sub-groups such as freshmen, sophomore, junior, etc. under the student group

Some of the things you can configure with the people groups include:

  • Assign permit types by people groups
  • Specify the number of vehicles allowed by people group
  • Apply discounts to a people group
  • Assign different rate codes to different people groups
  • Assign payment types to people groups, such as payroll deduction for faculty/staff

Those are just a few of the possibilities. As you can see, the permit system with people groups is very customizable
