parking by York Hospital and York College where
public parking on the street is limited.
When a parking ticket is not paid in a timely
fashion, the parking enforcement offi cer writes
a citation under Local Ordinance 300. Police
offi cers can write citations also under
Pennsylvania’s Motor Vehicle Code. The citation
is fi led against the registered owner of the
vehicle that was ticketed. Once an unpaid
parking ticket turns into a citation the fi ne is
$50 plus costs for a minimum total of $114.

If you receive a citation, it is too late to try to go
back in time and pay the original ticket. You
must then plead guilty or not guilty (in which
case you will be subpoenaed to a summary trial
at District Court 19-2-05). It is not a defense
that the registered owner was not the driver of
the vehicle that was ticketed. The takeaway for
Spring Garden Township residents is not to
ignore a parking ticket. It is far better to deal
with it within the required timeframe than face a
hefty increased amount owed.
