Changes to Residential Parking Permit Program

Dear Permit Customers,

Effective Sunday, September 1st, 2024, significant changes will take effect to our residential parking permit program.

We highly recommend reviewing the information below before these changes take effect.

We are committed to providing the best possible service and will assist you through these changes. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our office at 215.683.9730. Our team is ready to address any concerns you may have.

RESIDENTIAL PARKING PERMITS: Effective Sunday, September 1st, 2024

The cost of Annual Parking Permits is subject to change per City Ordinance Bill #240335 §12-2705, effective Sunday, September 1st, 2024. Due to this update, we cannot process your annual permit until the new pricing takes effect.

There will be an annual $75 flat fee per vehicle per permit. Additionally, there will be a limit of three vehicles per household that may obtain a permit. Motorcycle/Scooter permits will now be $50 annually, not included in the three per household.

We understand that changes in pricing can be concerning, and we want to assure you that this decision was made to improve the overall quality and availability of our services. To ease this transition, we are providing a 30-day grace period for all current

September permit holders. You will have until Monday, September 30th, 2024, to renew your permit without penalty.

Again, if you have any questions or need further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our permit office at 215.683.9730. Our team is ready to address any concerns you may have.

PHL IMPRESSION MAKERS – PPA MAINTENANCE II EMPLOYEE JAMES FAULK

PPA Maintenance II employee James Faulk recently received the “Impression Makers” award from Philadelphia International Airport’s (PHL) Employee Recognition Program. This award recognizes employees who provide direct customer service to passengers.

Faulk has been at PHL since 2016 and works the 7 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. shift. In this role, Faulk maintains PPA-operated garages, elevators, and the lobby. His responsibilities include painting, waste disposal, and, in the winter, snow plowing. He strives to keep the airport a safe and clean environment.

“I love my job,” said Faulk. “It’s common courtesy to help people. I would want someone to help my parents if they needed it. I feel good when I help people out of the kindness of my heart.”

While working, Faulk demonstrates values of customer-centrism, transcending expectations, effectiveness, respect, and integrity.

In his nomination of Faulk, passenger Michael Schafer stated, “James helped me find my vehicle on Easter Sunday. I knew my car was in Garage A but did not know what level or row. James noticed I was walking around trying to buzz the car alarm and asked if I needed assistance. He offered to help and drove me around several levels and rows until we finally found the vehicle. He went out of his way to help. It was also his first day on his new shift. I could not have thanked him enough.”

Faulk enjoys working as a team with his colleagues. He believes two hands are better than one, and he appreciates the strong bonds he has with them. A quote he lives by is “Treat people the way you want to be treated.”

One of Faulk’s most memorable moments at the airport is winning this Employee Recognition Award.

In his free time, Faulk loves to spend time with his family and is looking forward to a family reunion in Virginia Beach later this month.

“I appreciate the opportunity to work for the PPA,” said Faulk. “I want to thank the person who nominated me and brought it to my supervisors’ attention.”

The PHL Employee Recognition Program was established by the airport’s Guest Experience (GX) Department. Honorees are nominated by their peers and selected by the GX Council Steering Committee’s Employee Conduct and Recognition Committee.
