History

The Parking Authority of the City of Scranton, Pennsylvania was organized by File of the Council No. 5, 1953 of the City Council of the City of Scranton, Pennsylvania. Articles of Incorporation thereof were approved by, and filed with, the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
on March 30, 1953, pursuant to the provisions of the Pennsylvania
Parking Authority Law (the Act of June 5, 1947, P.L. 458, as amended).
This Commonwealth law permits towns and municipalities to create parking authorities. As such, the Parking Authority of the City of Scranton is a separate "body corporate and politic" to the City of Scranton.

The Parking Authority operates four parking garages and one parking lot,
all situated within the downtown corridor.  The Authority also has several enforcement officers who patrol designated routes in and around the downtown area, observing all parking violations and issuing parking
citations to the offending persons or vehicles.
