Change is in the cards for meters
The Philadelphia Parking Authority plans to introduce plastic debit cards, to be sold in $5 and $20 denominations, for use at city parking meters - all 14,500 of them - beginning in October.Vincent J. Fenerty Jr., first deputy executive director of the Parking Authority, said yesterday that motorists would be able to purchase the cards - which are not yet on sale - from a Parking Authority Web site, by phone, or at four direct-sales locations. More details on how and where to purchase the cards are to be announced next month.
First deputy executive director with the PPA? Well with titles that long is it any wonder parking fines have gone up?
