I got a $30 parking today in downtown Toronto. In the "commit the parking infraction section," it says "(Code No. 207) PARK - FAIL TO DEPOSIT FEE IN MACHINE" and in the comments section, it says "Meter/Receipt #: xp1617." I don't understand why I got the ticket as I had the GreenP parking receipt displayed clearly on my dash and it was valid from 3:50 to 5:20 pm and the ticket was issued at 4:45 pm. What should I do?
Thanks.
Parking rates and times vary from location to location and pay & display receipts are only valid at the location where they are purchased. If you purchased the P&D permit at a Green P lot or at a machine on a different street then it wasn't valid even if the time on it hasn't expired. Another thing that might have happened is that the PEO was looking at an old P&D receipt and missed the current one. Did you have more than one receipt on your dash? If your P&D was valid then it is possible that the PEO made an error by selecting the wrong offence from the drop down menu on his ticketing computer. He may have intended to select another offence but used that one instead by accident. If that is the case, you can request a review by a parking enforcement supervisor. Take the ticket and P&D receipt to one of the Parking Tag Operations offices and they can help you.
