The warning period is over and, starting Wednesday, drivers caught illegally parking by the newly installed AI-powered cameras in 30 SEPTA trolleys across the city, will face fines.
The cameras were announced back in February and were installed through a partnership between SEPTA, the Philadelphia Parking Authority and the city’s Office of Transportation, Infrastructure and Systems.
And now, after a 30-day warning period, cameras on SEPTA trolleys serving Lines T1 through T5, along with the G1 route, could slap those who are caught on camera parking illegally with $51 fines.
Officials have said that these automated enforcement cameras are intended to “identify vehicles illegally blocking trolley lanes and stopping zones.”
The program expands a similar program that put ticketing cameras on over 150 buses throughout the city that was launched last year.
Since the launch of that program, the NBC10 Investigators found these cameras have issued over 112,000 tickets.
Officials have said that trained PPA enforcement officers will manually review all violations before issuing warnings or $51 citations.
