Criticisms

Residents have criticized the Allentown Parking Authority for targeting low-income families[2] living in Center City Allentown by way of excessive fines[3] and unnecessary meter parking.[4]

The Allentown Parking Authority has also been criticized for disrupting commerce in Allentown’s downtown shopping district by overzealously ticketing during standard business hours[5][6] and unnecessary meter parking.[4]

The Allentown Parking Authority has also been criticized for indirectly implementing a so-called ticketing quota"[2] by budgeting its operations via revenue generated by ticketing vehicles[7][8]

The Allentown Parking Authority has also been criticized for wasteful spending[9] and flaunting its high-priced "Parking Enforcement Technology"[10] while public schools in the Allentown School District are perceived as under-funded[11]
