  1. Parking In NYC Saima Ahmed Vincent Buscemi Bryan Fox Rezaul Hazmin Nari Kyak Shetal Patel Albert Rodriguez Erkan Savluk

  2. A Little Info on Parking & Parking Tickets • 10, 114 Parking Meters in Manhattan and Queens • Traffic Division is becoming stricter • Meter Tickets below 96th St are generally $65 • Other Areas average $35

  3. Problems with Parking in NYC • Time Consuming • Confusing Signs • Dangerous • Unsatisfactory Parking Meters • Uncompromising & Unseasoned Meter Maids • Illegible Tickets • Impossible to Overturn in Court

  4. Time Consuming • Never seems to be enough parking • Can drive around for hours • No guarantee of finding a spot at all

  5. Confusing Signs • Too much information to absorb • Conflicting rules based on days and times of day • Arrows seemingly pointing every which way.

  6. Dangerous • Due to the confusion, many people slow down to see if a spot is legal • Pay attention more to signs and spots than the driving • Leads to many traffic accidents

  7. Unsatisfactory Parking Meters • Many broken meters • Many meters do not keep correct time • Meters begin at inconvenient times

  8. Unsatisfactory Parking Meters continued… • Many meters have 2 hour increments causing people to return to their car prematurely • Muni-meters cause a gap between parking and having the receipt to be parked legally

  9. Uncompromising & Unseasoned Meter Maids • Quotas force the meter maids to write tickets they might not write without quotas • Some meter maids are very unprofessional • Parking cops are usually the newer officers

  10. Illegible Tickets • Tickets are sometimes impossible to read • Pencil Smudges • Police Writing is Illegible • Cannot decipher the price of the ticket

  11. Impossible to Overturn in Court • Parking Tickets cost a great deal of money and surcharges are even more • If a parking ticket is brought to court, the judge is completely uninterested in hearing your side, completely disregarding what may be a different truth

  12. Current Solution Brought Forth By NYC • Muni-Meters • One per block • Pay and get ticket • Walk back to car and display ticket in windshield • Time consuming • Some have gotten tickets while walking between car and meter

  13. Possible Solutionsfor Unsatisfactory Meters • Scotland and England have implemented Solar Power Meters • These Meters accept: • Credit Cards • Debit Cards • Cash • Charge Via Mobile Phone

  14. Possible Solutionsfor Unsatisfactory Meters • Solar Meters continued… • Register by phone or on computer once • Call a central number to say where you are parked • Meter charged to credit card or debit card • Receive text message reminder of when time is up

  15. Possible Solution for Illegible Tickets • Carry Around Palm Pilot with Printer • Easier to Read • Easier to File & Keep Records for individual and City

  16. Correlation to Christian Ethics • Many of these traffic problems lead to dishonesty • Meter Maid’s quotas lead to unwarranted tickets • Ticket recipients will do or say anything to get out of paying
