With nearly 40,000 parking spaces to monitor, San Francisco Municipal Transit Agency (SFMTA) needed a vehicle that could withstand the high usage and short distance wear and tear impact that would typically limit their fleet’s lifespan. SFMTA looked to Westward Vehicles to improve their parking enforcement department’s efficiency while limiting their vehicle’s footprint in very challenging terrain and severe traffic congestion – and has grown their GO-4 fleet over the last 24 years. Recently, the City has begun replacing units at the end of their life cycle, some aged 23 years —a testament to the durability of the vehicle.

The City of Santa Monica, an early adopter of the GO-4, has mixed density and terrain in just over 8 square miles. From a coastline full of tourists, to a dense city center and hilly suburbs, the City’s demanding environment led them to test multiple vehicles for parking enforcement. In recent years, the GO-4 electric vehicle was tested in Santa Monica and passed all requirements for range and usage. Soon after, a total of 30 units were ordered and deployed. Now running in their fourth year, the units have proven to be reliable and dependable. The vehicles are under severe usage every day and continue to be workhorses for the department.
