ATLANTA – Global law firm Reed Smith served as counsel to Passport in connection with its intended acquisition by Arrive, a leading global mobility platform backed by Vitruvian Partners. The transaction, which was publicly announced on March 4, 2026, unifies enforcement technology, paid parking, and payment infrastructure for autonomous-ready mobility into a single integrated platform.

Arrive is a global mobility technology company that brings together a portfolio of businesses focused on modernizing how cities and private operators manage parking, enforcement, and transit payments. The acquisition of Passport strengthens Arrive's position as a comprehensive mobility platform, combining Passport's established payment infrastructure and municipal technology solutions with Arrive's broader suite of mobility offerings. The combined platform is positioned to serve the growing demand for autonomous-ready mobility infrastructure.

The Reed Smith team that advised on the transaction included the following lawyers across multiple practice areas: team leads Amie Singer and Patrick McKenzie (Corporate), JD Hawkins and Emily Crowell (Corporate), Michelle Mantine, Nicole Kaplan, and Leah Hungerman (Antitrust), Scott Wagner and Batool Banker (Employee Benefits & Executive Compensation), Anthony Boggs and Ally Byrne (Tax), Kelli Church (Labor & Employment), Will Atherton (FinTech Regulatory), Matt San Roman (Technology & IP Transactions), Mike Lowell (International Trade & National Security), and Kristin DeGrande (Commercial Disputes). 

The transaction reflects Reed Smith's deep capabilities in advising on complex, cross-disciplinary technology and mobility-sector transactions. The breadth of the team assembled for this engagement underscores the firm's ability to deliver coordinated counsel across corporate, regulatory, tax, employment, intellectual property, trade, and litigation matters in a single, high-profile deal.
