How the GO-4 Outperforms Rival Parking Enforcement Solutions in California Cities

Parking enforcement in California

Share This Post

For over 30 years, Westward has been supplying California’s numerous and beautiful municipalities with task-specific vehicles, such as the GO-4 Parking Enforcement Vehicle for efficient parking enforcement management. The GO-4 has become an iconic figure for coastal cities like Santa Monica, Santa Barbara, and San Diego, to name a few. These, along with many other California cities, rely on the GO-4 for efficient parking enforcement and dependable parking management. In recent years, many cities have also opted to add ALPR systems from companies like Genetec Autovu and Vigilant Solutions. Westward’s largest California customer, SFMTA in the City of San Francisco, operates approximately 330 Westward vehicles around the clock for various tasks, primarily related to parking infractions.

Due to severe traffic congestion and emissions in California, many companies and cities have turned to Westward Vehicles’ GO-4 as their parking management fleets. Thanks to a population explosion during the 20th century, California has become well-known for its strict air pollution policies and incredibly dense road congestion. The GO-4 excels in both areas. It offers a compact and nimble unit, providing a green and efficient alternative to larger vehicles. The vehicle features a market-beating 9-foot turning radius, a well-protected and robust 2.5-inch powder-coated steel chassis, dual sliding doors allowing the operator to safely navigate congested areas, and long-lasting Lithium-ion batteries. The GO-4 is an ideal vehicle for navigating California’s densely populated cities with its comfortable center operator seating.

How can you register a GO-4?

The GO-4 at any DMV in California can be registered as a three-wheel motorcycle with simply a class C license. The GO-4 is registered with NHTSA and CARB.

How can you qualify for big savings with one of our vehicle purchases?

Westward Vehicles recommends checking with your local air board for permits or state funding programs, as your fleet may qualify for potential funding on electric models. For instance, the San Joaquin Air Pollution Control District publication offers up to $100,000 towards the newest MAX-EV model. This funding can be highly beneficial for fleets looking to replace standard combustion engine vehicles with alternative fuel vehicles. If you’re interested, feel free to contact grants@valleyair.org with any questions.

What other vehicle options do we have?

The MAX-EV, a newer 4-wheel platform from Westward, is now being deployed in cities like Fresno, Livermore, and even in desert communities like the College of the Desert in Palm Desert. If you’re in search of an electric utility vehicle in California, look no further. With over 30 years of manufacturing experience and a reliable local dealer in Turf Star Western, which has 5 locations across California (Rancho Cordova, Fresno, Brea, Escondido, Bermuda Dunes), we’re fully equipped to meet your fleet needs.
