Why Is the PPA Teaching Us How Not to Get Tickets?
The Philadelphia Parking Authority will hold a workshop on avoiding parking tickets next month.
Seeing as the organization brings in a big chunk of money from its on-street operations (meaning parking fines, booting and towing fees, meter payments and permit fees), you’ve got to wonder… what’s going on here?
The PPA says the “fun-filled” workshop (again…trap?) will run between 10 a.m. and 12 p.m. on June 17th at the organization’s headquarters, located at 701 Market St. It’s titled “Parking 101: A Workshop on Avoiding Parking Tickets.”
Per a PPA event description full of exclamation points, those who attend will:
- Hear from your own Parking Enforcement Officers the tricks to avoid tickets and readily understand any parking sign you may come across!
- Get one-on-one, hands on instruction from a certified driving instructor on how to parallel park like a pro!
- Learn tips on parking and driving safety for two and four wheeled vehicles!
Are you getting avoidable parking tickets? We have a workshop for that! Details here ➡ https://t.co/qQmHbdO8Qe pic.twitter.com/WEr6dS0azs

If you’re as hesitant as we are, at least know that you’ll be given two hours of complimentary parking at the PPA’s “newly renovated Parkade” (a parking garage at 8th and Filbert streets) if you attend.
Space is limited. Those interested should register by emailing partnerwithppa@philapark.org. Registration closes at 5 p.m. on June 9th.
