Meter Maid

I don't understand. You say you don't get paid on commission, but you also say "We pay our own salaries with the revenue we make from issuing parking tickets." Isn't that a contradiction?

Asked by Sambo Z. about 11 years ago

We don't get a commision on the individual tickets we give out. We also do not rely on tax payers to pay our salaries. The Parking Enforcement Unit itself can pay its own employees based on the revenue it brings in from tickets given out as a whole. 

How do you enter in the vehicle info? Is it scanned in or do you manually key it in?

Asked by jl over 10 years ago

We manually have to key in the information. License plate, make of the vehicle, and the val tag expiry are all entered this way.

Everyone on my street got a ticket for parking on the wrong side of the street at 7am on a switch over day. we don't needpermits to park on the street. when I informed the PEO about the 12pm grace period to move our cars he said tough luck. Thoughts

Switchover streets can be complicated. The unit policy as of now does not state that we have to wait until noon. Last time I checked (I don't have many switch over streets where I work), I thought that the grace period was until 9 am. I would call to confirm this with the area supervisor for the division you live in. The people who have no permit at all would be ticketed right away, but those with valid permits are to be given a grace period. 7 am seems a little early to be doing switchover, but I could be wrong. Call in and get a supervisor to confirm and take down their name for future reference in case it happens again.

what time do you go on duty

Asked by Michael almost 11 years ago

Parking Enforcement Officers have a set schedule. Some work monday to friday and work the same hours every day. Others work shift work which includes a variety of shifts including days, evenings and weekends. Each shift is worked for 7 straight days followed by a set amount of days off and then the next type of shift begins for another 7 days, and so on. No matter what time of day, there are always PEOs patrolling the city streets.

Hi I was wondering what the educational prerequisites are to become a meter maid ? Is a high school diploma or education required ? Or can pretty much anyone apply for the job ?
Thank you
