Pay Station Status
The Pay Station Status lookup tool is used for searching and verifying temporary permits issued by physical pay stations. Its primary purpose is to allow administrators and enforcement personnel to accurately look up a vehicle's pay station status based on various criteria, such as plate number and time. This guide is intended for OPS-COM administrators and enforcement staff.
Setup and Configuration
This tool is a standard administrative feature and does not require any specific system configuration.
Admin Side: Administrators do not need to configure any internal settings. However, this feature strictly relies on a successful, active integration with your organization's external pay station hardware to continually populate its data.
User Side: End-users do not interact with this administrative lookup tool. They only interact with the physical pay station hardware in the parking lots.
Using this Feature
Administrators and enforcement staff can use the following instructions to actively filter for pay station transactions and view specific vehicle details.

The data displayed on this page is pulled directly from your integrated pay station system. Any discrepancies in the data should first be investigated directly at the physical pay station terminal or within its dedicated management software.
