How to Submit Enforcement Requests

When it comes to keeping Philadelphia’s streets safe, accessible, and moving smoothly, community partnership plays a vital role. One of the most effective ways residents and visitors can support that effort is by letting us know about recurring parking issues affecting your community. 

We understand that parking concerns often go beyond convenience. Vehicles blocking crosswalks, sidewalks, bus stops, fire hydrants, or ADA ramps can create serious safety hazards for pedestrians, seniors, and individuals with mobility challenges. Double-parked vehicles and illegally parked trucks can also contribute to congestion and quality-of-life concerns on neighborhood blocks.

To make reporting these issues easier, we now offer an online enforcement request system that connects community members directly with enforcement teams. Through this tool, users can submit concerns, including nuisance parking, unregistered vehicles, illegal truck parking, ADA violations, and other safety-related issues. Requests are reviewed and routed to the appropriate enforcement units based on location and violation type. Feel free to try out the new tool provided below.

 

For more immediate concerns, residents can also contact the PPA’s communications line at (215) 683-9773 or their local police district to request parking enforcement, particularly when violations are creating hazardous conditions.

Every request submitted helps the PPA identify recurring issues, allocate enforcement resources more effectively, and improve overall traffic flow and neighborhood accessibility. It’s a collaborative approach rooted in the Authority’s broader mission: enhancing public safety and quality of life for everyone who lives, works, and travels in Philadelphia.

By staying engaged and responsibly reporting concerns, community members play a direct role in keeping Philadelphia’s streets safer, fairer, and more functional for all.
