The Justice Department says it completed a targeted antitrust investigation and closed it after reviewing evidence about competition in mobile parking payments.

- The department said it opened an investigation and issued Second Requests to both companies.
- Arrive announced its intent to acquire Passport on March 4, according to the department.

Why it matters: The DOJ’s decision closes its investigation; the department did not provide a detailed account of its competitive-effects conclusion in the statement.
