City of Chattanooga - GO-4
Electric Utility Vehicle - GO-4 Westward Industries

“The City of Chattanooga is very satisfied with the GO-4 quality. Our fleet has several green vehicles, and the Westward Industries’ model stands out when it comes to battery life and overall quality built.

After two years running the vehicle 5 or 6 days a week and hitting the 10,000-mile milestone, it is still a reliable unit night and day.

During the whole process, the dealership was very accommodating and provided guidance and quality customer service whenever needed.

Electric Utility Vehicle - GO-4 Westward Industries

“The Village of Scarsdale (Westchester County, NY) has been searching for a replacement to their fleet of 3-wheeled sanitation scooters for many years.

Through the willingness of the leaders at GO-4 they produced a scooter that not only meets our needs, they exceed what we previously had.

Thanks to the team at GO-4 for working with us to find a solution!!”

City of Las Vegas Logo

The Go4 scooter is the only vehicle we use for downtown parking enforcement

The double-sided sliding doors, the slim body and the maneuverability make it the ideal vehicle. 

We used another type of vehicle for a few years and had so many accidents we sold them all and went back to the Go4″

Brandy Stanley

Parking Manager,
City of Las Vegas, NV

“I have had years of working out of a GO4 vehicle. I used to work as a Parking Enforcement Officer for the City of Las Vegas, Nevada. Here I drove them off and on daily for nine years, depending on which beat (sector) we were in.

I have been in numerous accidents where people have struck me while working and have found them to be excellent in keeping the driver safe. One year I had 4 different people strike me and walked away each time… The design is basically a rolling roll cage, much like a race car design.

This helps prevent the driver from being injured. To anyone who may be considering adding them to their fleet, from a safety aspect it is an excellent vehicle to use for parking enforcement. In fact I hope to be acquiring some next budget year.”

City of Lake Worth, FL

City of Sausalito Logo

“The Sausalito Police Department Parking Division has successfully utilized the GO-4 Interceptor since 1995. The department completed significant market research and evaluation of available vehicles when the time came to refresh the parking vehicle fleet.

After a thorough assessment, we have confirmed that the GO-4 is the best fit for our needs.

Our experience with the management has been positive and they have gone above and beyond to meet our needs and requirements.”

City of Berkeley

“As the equipment superintendent at City of Berkeley, I have been dealing with the GO-4 parking enforcement vehicle for years.

The city has preferred the GO-4 above all other vehicles for parking enforcement, and it has been my department’s duty to keep the vehicles operating every day. I have been very pleased dealing with the new ownership at Westward. Service, parts, and quality seems to be on the constantly improving.

For any previous concerns, direct contact with the company’s directors has been prompt and helpful. I wish these guys a successful future.”

Bill Ivie

Superintendent,
Department of Public Works – Berkeley, CA

“The Go4 quite simply is the most suitable parking enforcement vehicle operating today.

The vehicle is the most maneuverable parking enforcement vehicle and affords the enforcement officer a high degree of safety and comfort.

We have tested other vehicles, but continue to return to the Go4 as it provides the greatest overall return on investment.”

Umpqua Basin Water Association UBWA Logo

“Back in 2012, UBWA made the decision to add three GO-4’s to our fleet. We have not regretted our decision as our cost for meter readings dropped by over $7,000 per year. Also, due to the size and maneuverability of the GO-4, the meter readers were able to shave additional time off their routes.

The GO-4’s have been a great addition to our fleet of vehicles, and they will remain as our number one choice for this type of task.”

Brad Johnson

General Manager,
Umpqua Basin Water Association, OR

City of Albany - GO-4
Electric Utility Vehicle - GO-4 Westward Industries

“Our Department has been utilizing the GO-4 vehicles for approximately 20 years and have found them to be a true benefit to our parking enforcement program. The GO-4’s are efficient, are inexpensive to maintain, and stand-out as recognizable vehicles used for parking enforcement.

Due to some of our more narrow streets they also excel in maneuverability and are great for tight turn-arounds. The GO-4’s are easy to drive and our newest 2020 model has modern amenities like an LCD control screen, LED lighting, and a new brighter traffic bar.

In addition to the GO-4 itself, working with Westward and ordering our GO-4 was simple and they stand by their products and provide excellent customer service.”

Aspen CAAP Parking - GO4
Electric Utility Vehicle - GO-4 Westward Industries

“GO-4 vehicles are an asset to our enforcement program. They have the ability to maneuver and turn-around on the narrow streets of our town. The right hand entry door has increased the officer safety so that they do not have to exit the vehicle in a lane of traffic.

We use them year round in all weather conditions with minimal problems.”

Blake Fitch

Operations Manager,
CAPP Parking – Aspen, CO

City of St. Petersburg - GO-4
Electric Utility Vehicle - GO-4 Westward Industries

“We have used the Go4 in the City of St Petersburg in the past and recently returned to them. We found that the new Go4 vehicle is much improved from the previous years.

The company has been very responsive to our needs and we highly endorse their new model.

We will continue to use them and have budgeted for additional units.”

Keith Glasgow

Go-4 Interstate Parking Fargo ND
Electric Utility Vehicle - GO-4 Westward Industries

“The Go-4 is the perfect vehicle for our on-street parking enforcement. The efficient design allows our patrollers to quickly move through downtown Fargo without interfering in normal traffic flow and the improved suspension system allows the vehicle to travel more safely in our northern climate. 

The Go-4 Interceptor is an essential tool of our parking management program.”

Andrew Renfrew

Interstate Parking Company – Fargo, ND

Municipal Maintenance Equipment MME Logo

As one of Westwards key dealers, representing California since the early 1990′s, we have overall noticed a significant increase in tech support and efficient parts supply since the Franz brothers took over in 2012. The vehicles have improved in quality and dependability.

Overall warranty claims have decreased and customers appear to be satisfied with the product as they continue to submit repeat orders

ComSonics – Genetec LPR

“In the process of selling and implementing Genetec License Plate Recognition systems in cities, campuses and businesses. I have found many times that parking lots and decks are tight and space is limited.

I find the GO-4 a great vehicle for these situations gaining the most from the LPR system with the added mobility. The tight turning radius is a huge plus for navigating these busy surroundings.

Having the ability to exit and enter from either side of the vehicle is a great benefit for safety when enforcing. I see the GO-4 being the right fit for areas where space is at a premium versus a considerably larger vehicle.”
