Official:Amending Section 12-1005 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Use of Parking Meters," by increasing the designated fee for one hour of parking required by that Section, to one (1) dollar.
Sponsor: Councilmember Green
Introduced: December 12, 2013
: Committee on Streets and Services
Status: Lapsed
This bill was introduced in the 2012–2015 Council term and when that term ran out. The public record shows no committee vote and no floor vote at any stage, so no member of Council ever went on record for or against it.
That is not unusual here. Of the 8,465 bills introduced between 2000 and 2025, 1,624 lapsed without a single recorded vote. Ninety percent of bills that became law carry a roll call. Three percent of lapsed bills do. How this works.
This bill increases the parking meter fee in Philadelphia from $0.50 to $1.00 per hour. The excess amount collected above $0.50 will go towards the School District of Philadelphia.
