What's New

Philadelphia citation cards now show the enforcement evidence where it is available. Expand a citation to view the ticket image, plate and vehicle photos, and any camera video, so you can confirm a citation is yours and see what happened before you pay. Citations that include evidence are marked so you can spot them at a glance.

Philadelphia fleets now receive the nightly email digest. It summarizes new citations since your last digest and flags citations approaching their next penalty step, so you can act before balances grow. Manage which alerts you receive in Settings.

Opening the payment window briefly reserves the selected citations so the same ticket cannot be paid twice. Previously, closing the window without paying could leave that hold in place for up to 30 minutes, causing a payment already in progress message if you tried again. The hold is now released the moment you close the payment window, so you can reopen checkout and pay right away.

BIC violations are now matched to rental liability windows using the same date handling as parking, camera, and idling violations. This fixes edge cases where violations on the first or last day of a rental window could appear in the wrong liability view.

See which enforcement agents are writing your NYC parking and camera tickets. A new Cost by Officer breakdown in Reports groups your violations by issuing agent, with totals and counts, so you can spot patterns across your routes and focus attention where the tickets come from.

Philadelphia citation cards now show a penalty escalation timeline. You can see at a glance where each citation sits, how many days until the next penalty step, and what the balance becomes if it is not resolved in time. This is the same escalation view NYC fleets already use, tuned to PPA penalty timing.

Philadelphia citations now display the issuing officer's name next to the badge number wherever we have it on file. This makes it easier to recognize repeat issuers on your routes and review citations with more context.

Once a Philadelphia citation is paid and remitted, you can download the payment receipt right from the citation card. You get proof of payment and remittance in one place, so your records stay complete without leaving Clear Plates.

Clear Plates now handles common license plate formatting differences more consistently across vehicle add, edit, CSV import, and liability matching. Plates with spaces, dashes, or different casing resolve to the same vehicle, helping prevent duplicate records and making rental-window matching more reliable after uploads.

Clear Plates now supports Yonkers parking and camera citations for fleets operating across the NYC metro area. Yonkers citations appear in the same Parking/Camera workflow you already use, can be reviewed on the Liability page, and can be managed through Clear Plates alongside the rest of your fleet's violation program.

Generate Driver Statement and Fleet Owner Reconciliation reports for OATH/idling violations — the same reports available for parking and camera tickets. Select violations on the Liability page and click Generate Report.

Violation amounts now reflect the actual balance due from CityPay, including accrued late fees and interest — not just the original fine. Look for the green checkmark to see when the balance was last verified.

Add your fleet's internal unit numbers to vehicles. Vehicle IDs appear across the dashboard, reports, CSV exports, and are searchable from the vehicle list.

Clear Plates now tracks Business Integrity Commission (BIC) violations by business name. Configure your company name and DBAs in Settings, and BIC violations appear automatically.

Ask questions about your fleet in plain English. The assistant knows your vehicles, violations, and liability data. Available via the chat button on every dashboard page. Supports voice input.

Violations are now stored locally and synced nightly, reducing dashboard load time from 6–12 seconds to under 200 milliseconds. No more waiting for NYC’s APIs on every page load.

Violation cards now show exactly where each ticket sits in the escalation timeline. DOF cards display a 5-stage step indicator. OATH cards show hearing countdowns with default penalty warnings.
