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.

No More Philadelphia Traffic Court
Now all Philadelphia Traffic Court functions will be completed by the Philadelphia Municipal Court. New judges will be assigned and cases are currently being transferred.
Philly Traffic Court CLOSED
So no one knows how this transition will affect traffic tickets and parking tickets in Philadelphia. The state legislators expect this to help prevent corruption and illicit activities, but I do not believe they anticipated the case load this will bring to the Municipal Court and those judges and staff. Only time will tell!
For now the best way to contact the Traffic Court in Philly is in person. You can also try calling the Traffic Court Phone Number 215-686-1675
From the current Traffic Court Website
The Philadelphia Traffic Court Bench is composed of seven judges, elected by the populace. They preside over and adjudicate moving citations issued within the City and County of Philadelphia, as provided in Title 75 of the Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Code, set by the Legislature of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Included among these Judges is an Administrative Judge, the Honorable Gary S. Glazer.
All inquiries concerning parking violations should be directed to the Parking Authority at (888) 591-3636.
The Traffic Court is located at 800 Spring Garden Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19123-2690. The Court is open to the public between the hours of 8:30 A.M. and 7:30 P.M., Monday through Friday.
