Hartford ParkHartford App / Meter Failure
Hartford operates ParkHartford (Passport Parking) for digital metered parking. Where the app fails to register a session, or the physical meter is jammed/unreadable, the resulting citation must be dismissed under Hartford Code §22 and Connecticut common-law fair-notice principles. Hartford parking authority routinely accepts app screenshots as dispositive.
Legal basis
Hartford Municipal Code Chapter 22; CGS §7-148(c)(7)
