With Sweep:BOS, easily set up an email or SMS reminder to move your car so you don’t get the dreaded $100 ticket.  Get alerts to street cleaning all year round, and, in the winter, also get alerts to move your car for snow removal.  While currently limited to Boston, expansion is slated to a significant number of US cities over the next couple months.  It’s a great buy for the price, especially when compared to a single ticket!  Price: $1.99.
