Our repeated calls and emails have not received an official word just yet. An app that would allow philadelphia drivers to pay for parking by phone could launch as an as this fall. Long overdue. Was this something that you mentioned on air a month ago. Well thank you. Why doesnt philadelphia have this. Yes waiting for green light from city hall. Steve keeley live in center citys Parking Authority with the details. Steve, so many other big cities already have this app. Reporter so why doesnt this big city of it . Well, let you be the judge as they say. Innovation is what is ahead of the philly Parking Authority says, and by the way, we have pointed this out before. Even though it is called the philadelphia Parking Authority it is not run by the city anymore since the john Street Administration but run by state legislative appointees. So stagnation is what critics of the city hall are calling this hurdle right the now put up by Mayors Office. Specifically the chief of staff, get this, of the Mayors Office of transportation and utilities that is a City Department and title i doubt anybody outside of the city hall has ever heard of before now the guys name andrew stover. The reason he says that this good idea which essentially would do, let you pay your parking while you are say at a restaurant eating lunch or dinner and say my meter is running out from my phone without having to run back out to the car you can add time, to your time on the street without getting a parking ticket. So a lot of people, like Vince Finnerty the head of the p pa says this will help businesses because if somebody is shopping they dont to have stop shopping, to come over to their car four blocks away and put more money into the kiosk. However, a lot of the money from parking tickets almost ten milliondollar worth from a lot of the fees and tickets go to the city, which goes to the School District and the problem is the the cities is worried well, if this starts saving people money which is the idea behind this, well it will hurt the School District and take money from that. That is why the the city is saying wow, lets stud think more. How will we make up for any loss of money. He says that is ridiculous. Im sure people who gotten tickets before where we are right now at the Parking Authority offices are upset, the city doesnt have have this. This is a way to save you from getting tickets and save you from getting big fines. Vin finnerty says it is revenue neutral because people will be putting more money in the system paying by phone with their credit cards. Revenue neutral means nobody will lose money. City is like hey, show us some results of stud that is say that. That why is this city continues to be in the revolutionary era when it comes to parking. Still get a ticket here as well. Steve keeley, i was in the middle of the manicure pedicure, your nails are wet what do you do when your meter is expiring in five minutes. I have that problem every other week. Reporter i saw out here last week, somebody that works for Parking Authority a marked p pa koran this street, got a ticket from a Parking Authority ticket writer. One of the daily news photographers sent that out. I tweeted that. I thought that was great. It was hysterical. They are really abiding the law. There has been scandals with the Parking Authority covering tickets, you know, fixing tickets they dont do anything any more for anybody including their own staffers. They are heavy handed. Steve keeley, thanks so much. All right. Good morning. How are you. Coming up. New information, on a shooting outside of the cartoon contest in texas.
