Drivers of all types havereceived meter parking citations indiscriminately and sometimes unfairly. The parking citationdata obtained from the city of Baltimore indicated more than one million tickets for a totalamount of revenue of $46 million in 2010. Parking meter violation ranked first among all typesof citations causing disputes and frustrating among citizens. An innovative solution to streetparking fee collection is proposed.
