Philadelphia Parking Tickets PPA - Quick facts

I've written many times about the Philadelphia Parking Authority and their aggressive parking ticket policy. I've mentioned how hard a parking ticket can be, and we have heard stories of parking tickets being given to people who have never been to Philadelphia. We have even discussed the ability to fight Philly parking tickets online. But there are a few important things you need to know about parking tickets and your driver's license.

1) No matter how many parking tickets there is no impact on your driver's license. You can NOT get points or suspensions for getting a parking ticket.

2) A parking ticket in Philadelphia can now be fought online. The PPA had to make it easier to fight these tickets because of the number of out of area residents claiming they got mail because of a ticket issues in Philly...even when they had never been in the city.

3) Red light camera tickets are considered parking tickets and administered by the Philadelphia parking Authority. You can read a report regarding the amount of money being collected by red light cameras here.
