[Adopted 12-10-2002, effective 12-20-2002]
As used in this article, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated:
A small portable electronic module that is designed to be
hung on a rearview mirror, unless otherwise designated by the Director
of Parking Enforcement, incorporating an electronic display on which
information can be seen readily. Each electronic component shall be
numerically keyed to the electronic debit card to which it is issued.
A card, whether or not prepaid, capable of being programmed
to allow a user to activate an IVPS for a particular purpose when
read by the electronic component.
Refers collectively to the electronic component and the electronic
debit card that is inserted into the electronic component to activate
it. All components of the IVPS are nontransferable and must be activated,
installed or otherwise operated in the manner set forth in this article
in order for use of the IVPS to be valid.
In-vehicle parking systems may only be used to park in a space
regulated by a parking meter. The electronic component must be displayed
in an unobstructed manner in order to be visible to duly authorized
parking enforcement personnel.
A.
IVPS applications shall be issued by the Parking Violations Bureau,
and may be submitted by mail or in person, including the following
information about the applicant, in addition to any other information
required on the application:
B.
In addition to prepaid electronic debit cards, as described below,
applicants shall receive one electronic component.
C.
Electronic debit cards shall be sold by the Department of Administration
and Finance, by mail or in person, in various denominations and must
be prepaid by cash, certified check, credit card or money order of
the value of the electronic debit card(s) sought to be purchased.
Each card purchased will enable the purchaser to receive $2 credit
on the purchase of a new card upon the return of the used electronic
debit card to the Parking Violations Bureau.
B.
Individuals with a valid disabled parking permit are entitled to purchase a first-time-only package for a fee as set forth in Chapter 175, Fees, which includes the electronic component and the electronic debit card with $50 of parking charged to the card. Only one such package shall be issued per person.
A.
Activation of in-vehicle parking system. No person shall park a vehicle,
whether attended or not, in any parking space regulated by a parking
meter that indicates by signal that the lawful parking time in such
space has expired without properly activating an IVPS. This provision
shall not apply to the act of parking or the time necessary to activate
an IVPS immediately.
B.
Expired meters or in-vehicle parking systems. No person shall allow
a vehicle within his or her control to be parked in any such parking
meter space during the restricted and regulated time applicable to
the parking meter zone in which such meter is located while a properly
activated IVPS shows that the lawful parking time in such space has
expired. This provision shall not apply to the act of parking or the
time necessary to activate an IVPS. When an IVPS is used, such system
shall be the only valid indicator of whether lawful parking time in
a space is available or has expired, because the meter in all such
cases will indicate that the time has expired.
[Amended 1-21-2003, effective 2-4-2003]
A.
No person shall park a vehicle in a parking meter space for more
than one time period lawfully permitted in that parking meter zone.
B.
No person shall activate an IVPS for a time period longer than one
time period lawfully permitted in that parking meter zone, unless
the person possesses a valid disabled parking permit, nor shall any
person activate or reactivate an IVPS for purpose of extending such
time.
C.
The act of activating an IVPS for a rate that is different from that
indicated in a particular parking meter zone will subject that person
to a penalty of $20 per incident.
