Official:Amending Title 12 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Traffic Code," by revising Section 12-1117, entitled "Physically Handicapped and Disabled or Severely Disabled Veteran Parking," by allowing certain persons who transport a disabled person to apply for a reserved on-street parking space; all under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Council President Clarke
Introduced: April 10, 2014
: 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 allows people who transport a disabled person to apply for reserved on-street parking spaces near locations like hospitals and schools.
