Methods and systems are disclosed for providing access to safety ratings of parking locations and access alerts associated with vehicles, including processing of notifications to user accounts associated with monitored vehicles. One example method includes receiving at a server, over time, safety alerts from a plurality of vehicles. Each safety alert is associated with a geographic location. The method associates, by the server, one or more safety alerts to parking locations corresponding to geographic locations from where the safety alerts were received. The server then generates a safety grade for one or more of the parking locations, and the safety grade is based on a number of safety alerts associated to the parking location and a safety type of the safety alerts. The method receiving a request at a server, from a computing device, to access the safety grade for a parking location proximate to a current geo-location of the computing device or a destination location and sends data to a user interface of the computing device. The data includes identification of one or more parking locations proximate to the current geo-location of the computing device or the destination location and associated safety grades.
