A.
Authority and purpose. The provisions of this section
are enacted pursuant to the provisions of § 6109(a)(22)
of the Vehicle Code,[1] authorizing the removal and impounding of vehicles parked
on the streets or highways or public property of the township in violation
of any local ordinances or the provisions of the Vehicle Code, or
which have been abandoned (as defined by the Vehicle Code) or which
are parked in such a manner as to interfere with traffic or pose a
hazard to others. The term "Vehicle Code" shall mean 75 Pa.C.S. § 101
et seq., as amended, supplemented or modified.
[1]
Editor's Note: See 75 Pa. C.S. § 6109(a)(22).
B.
Removal and impoundment. The township, acting through the Township Police Department, or its authorized employees, shall have the authority to remove and impound, or order the removal and impounding, of any vehicle parked, stopped or standing as described in § 133-18A.
C.
Designation of tow-away zones. Tow-away zones shall
be designated by appropriate permanent or temporary signs setting
forth that the parking or stopping area has been designated a tow-away
zone. Vehicles which have been abandoned or parked or stopped in such
a manner as to interfere with traffic or pose a hazard to others are
subject to removal and impoundment whether or not the location is
designated as a tow-away zone.
D.
Approved towing and storage facilities. The removal
and impounding of vehicles pursuant to this section shall be by approved
storage facilities only. Such facilities shall be designated from
time to time by resolution of the Board of Supervisors. Every such
facility shall submit evidence to the township that it is bonded or
has liability insurance in an amount satisfactory to the Supervisors
as sufficient to indemnify owners of impounded vehicles against loss
or damage to those vehicles while in the custody of the facility for
purposes of towing or storage. Every approved storage facility shall
submit to the Supervisors a schedule of charges for towing and storage
of vehicles pursuant to this section. Upon approval by the Board of
Supervisors, such charges shall be adhered to by the storage facility,
and no additional charges shall be demanded or collected from any
person whose vehicle has been removed or impounded under this section
until such new charges are approved by the Supervisors. Any person
or entity violating this provision is subject to removal as an approved
facility.
E.
Payment of towing and storage charges. The payment
of towing and/or storage charges shall not relieve the person responsible
for the subject vehicle from liability for the payment of any fine
or penalty for the violation of the provisions of this chapter.
F.
Towing and storage costs. Any person or entity reclaiming
any vehicle which has been towed and/or stored shall pay to the approved
facility the towing and storage charges as approved by the Board of
Supervisors, plus $25, of which $10 shall be transferred to the Pennsylvania
Department of Transportation by the storage facility.
G.
Records of vehicles removed or impounded. The township
shall cause a record to be kept of all vehicles removed or impounded
under this section. Such records shall be reasonably available to
the persons claiming responsibility for such vehicle and shall specify
the location of the impounded vehicle.
H.
Penalty and costs. No vehicle shall be removed under
the provisions of this section or of the Vehicle Code if at the time
of the intended removal the person responsible for the vehicle is
present and is willing and able to remove the vehicle immediately.
Removal of the vehicle by a responsible person shall not relieve that
person from the payment of any fine or costs for violation of any
other parking or traffic regulation of the township. Any person who
shall violate the provisions of this section shall, upon the conviction
thereof in a summary proceeding, be sentenced to pay a fine of $50
in addition to the cost and fees designated hereinabove and any costs
pursuant to the Vehicle Code.
I.
Reports and disposition of unclaimed vehicles. After
a period of 15 days, if any vehicle in storage pursuant to the provisions
of this section remains unclaimed, a report shall be filed with the
Pennsylvania Department of Transportation as provided in § 7311
of the Vehicle Code[2] by the person or entity having custody of the vehicle
at that time. In the event that the subject vehicle is not claimed
after 30 days, such vehicle may be transferred to a licensed salvager,
who will then be responsible for complying with the requirements of
the Vehicle Code.
