Office Closures: In accordance with directives of the Governor and the Mayor, the Bureau of Administrative Adjudication, the Parking Violations Branch and PPA administrative offices will be closed starting March 17th and will reopen on Monday, March 30th, 2020.
Note: The PPA’s monthly board meeting previously scheduled for Tuesday, March 24th has been cancelled and will be rescheduled.
Parking Enforcement: The Philadelphia Parking Authority will place a special emphasis on enforcing safety violations, including blatant violations that pose a threat to public order and safety such as double-parking, loading zone violations and blocking entranceways or crosswalks. It is essential that motorists park legally during this health crisis so as not to impede traffic flow or block emergency vehicle access. Additionally, meters, kiosks and residential parking time limits will not be enforced.
Scheduled hearings: If you had a scheduled hearing with the Bureau of Administrative Adjudication between March 17 and March 27, you will receive a new hearing date by mail.
Booted or Towed vehicles: To retrieve a vehicle, you will have to pay only those tickets on the impounded vehicle’s license plate. If tickets are eligible for a hearing and paid during this time of administrative office closure, you will still be eligible to contest those tickets when the Bureau of Administrative Adjudication resumes normal operations. In order to claim your vehicle, you must present a drivers license, vehicle registration and proof of insurance.
