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.”

CONSUMER FRAUD ALERT: Malicious Text Messages Falsely Claim Recipients Owe for Outstanding Parking Tickets
(PHILADELPHIA)—The Philadelphia Parking Authority today issued a Consumer Fraud ALERT, warning customers of a malicious phishing scam in which consumers are receiving text messages disguised as coming from the PPA that falsely inform them they owe money for an unpaid parking ticket. Included in the text message is a link to a malicious non-PPA website with a request to click the link below to make payment.
The PPA urges consumers NOT to click the link and NOT to respond to these text messages. The PPA advises anyone wishing to see if they have an outstanding parking ticket to go online at www.philapark.org and under “Tickets” check to see if there is money owed by entering the ticket violation number and license plate number or call the Parking Violations Branch directly at 1-888-591-3636 to find out if you have an outstanding balance. Any payment should be directed to PPA’s website at https://philapark.org/violations/
The PPA provides four (4) official methods to make payments. Those payment options include:
- Online: www.philapark.org
- Via Phone: 1-888-591-3636
- Via Mail: City of Philadelphia, Parking Violations Branch, P.O. Box 41818 Philadelphia, PA 19101
- In-person: 913 Filbert Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107
