If you do not request a hearing to contest your ticket or pay the ticket within 15 days of issuance, a notice of violation will be sent to the registered owner of the vehicle. This notice will explain that the violation must either be paid or contested within 10 calendar days of the date on the notice or a $30.00 penalty will be added. If the violation is not paid or contested before it enters delinquency status (approximately 30 days after issuance), a second penalty of $35.00 will be added.
Visit the Traffic Court’s Citation Online Payment System.
After 15 days a ticket is issued, and no payment is made or dispute submitted, a request is sent to the appropriate department of motor vehicles for the name and address of the registered owner. Once that is obtained, a “Notice of Violation” is mailed to the registered owner, which gives them 10 more days to pay or dispute the ticket before penalties are added.

A ticket will be issued immediately if your vehicle is observed to be parked blocking access to a curb cut ramp for people with disabilities.
If your vehicle is parked in a Handicapped space and you are not displaying a valid, state-issued Disabled Person or Disabled Veteran plate or placard, you will receive a ticket.
A ticket will be issued immediately if your vehicle is observed to be parked within a marked crosswalk. The fine will be $25.00 higher in Center City and University City.
A ticket will be issued immediately if your vehicle is found to be blocking pedestrian access on a sidewalk.

meterUP FAQs
Answers to all your meterUP questions
Once you have parked past the maximum time posted, you have the option to park longer, but the rate doubles. If you park past the posted time limit a second time, the rate triples. See below for example:
I park at 201 Columbus Boulevard. The rate is $1.50/hour and the posted time limit is four hours.
I park from 10:00 a.m.- 2:00 p.m. and pay a total of $6.00.
At 1:53 p.m., I receive a notification that my time will expire, and I choose to extend the time.
From 2:00 p.m.-6:00 p.m., the rate is doubled, so I pay $3.00 an hour, a total of $12.00.
At 5:53 p.m., I receive a notification that my time will expire, and I choose to extend the time.
From 6:00 p.m.-10:00 p.m., the rate is tripled, so I pay $4.50 an hour, a total of $18.00.
Note: If you choose to park past the posted time limit three consecutive times, you will be required to move your vehicle to a different meterUP zone.
meterUP is the easiest way to pay for parking in Philadelphia. No more feeding the meter. No change? No problem! Just meterUP!
Click here to see a quick video! Once you’ve signed up with meterUP, you can start using your mobile phone to pay for parking wherever you see the meterUP signs.
1. After creating a meterUP account, simply open the app and enter your parking zone number, which is located on meterUP signs, kiosks and meters. The meterUP signs will look like this.
2. Select your desired amount of time to park.
3. Confirm your information then press the “Start Parking” button and you’re good to go!
Yes! You can call 1-877-727-5303 and follow the prompts to pay for parking.
Parking time limits vary from location to location.
To ensure you don’t go past the designated time limit, be sure to carefully read the signs where you’re parked.
Yes! One of the great features of meterUP is customized parking notifications. To set up your customized notifications, go to the “Notifications” tab in your meterUP profile.
The 40 cent convenience fee is meant to ensure continued functionality of the meterUP app. The 40 cent convenience fee is applied whenever a transaction is completed within the app. This includes starting and extending parking sessions.
Note: Payments at meters and kiosks don’t require a convenience fee if you choose not to start a parking session with meterUP.
You have several options to review/edit your account:
App: Open the meterUP app and go to your meterUP profile tab. Here you can change, add or remove vehicles, update your payment methods and edit your customized notifications.
Any mobile phone: Dial toll-free 1-877-727-5303 and follow the prompts for personal assistance.
Web: Simply sign-in to your personal account on meterUP.org using the email address and password you entered during the account setup process.
Yes! The Philadelphia Parking Authority manages three SEPTA parking lots. The locations and their meterUP zone numbers are listed below:
● Torresdale Rail Station: Zone # 919901
● Fox Chase Rail Station: Zone # 919903
● Fern Rock Transportation Center: Zone # 919904
There are multiple ways to obtain your meterUP receipt:
● After opening the meterUP app, click the “Activity” tab in the bottom left corner. This will provide you with your recent parking transactions.
● Receipts can automatically be sent to the email address registered to your meterUP account. Just go to the “Notifications” tab in your meterUP app profile to enable the “email receipt” notification.
● Receipts and your past parking session history can also be viewed by logging into your account on meterUP.org
The scenario is exactly the same if you were parked at a stand-alone meter or kiosk. When the Parking Enforcement Officer inputs your plate number into their handheld ticketing device, they’ll check if you paid for a parking session with meterUP. If you’re not in a paid parking session, they’ll begin timing your vehicle and give you the free hour parking allowance.
The app only lets you pay for parking up to the maximum time limit that is posted. For example, if you are parked in a two-hour zone, you can only pay for up to two hours in one session
In the event of technical difficulties preventing payment through meterUP, the parking fee must be paid at the closest meter or kiosk.
There a couple of scenarios in which meterUP will prevent you from making payment. Please see the below scenarios as they apply to you:
meterUP will block payment in a zone when parking is restricted, or when parking is free.
If you reached the maximum time limit three (3) consecutive times in a particular meterUP zone, you will not be permitted to start another parking session in that zone for a period of 30 minutes. Once those 30 minutes have passed, you are once again eligible to begin a parking session in that zone.
