Got a parking ticket today at Castle Shannon Station. Know it's my fault, not contesting it. But - it rained a ton at some point after the ticket was left and before I got to my car to see it. It's a nice, soggy mess.

Can hardly read it right now and have no idea how much I actually owe, where to send the money to, etc. Tried looking online on Pittsburgh Parking Authority site and entered in my License Plate but they said there's no record of it.

Thoughts? Suggestions? I tried calling Pittsburgh Parking's number but of course, they don't operate past 5 PM. There is no other phone # or helpful information whatsoever on this stupid ticket.

Thanks in advance...

I got a ticket at Dormont Junction once, and the ticket was from the Dormont Police....

The Castle Shannon Park and Ride is not part of Pittsburgh, so PPA is not the correct group to call.....however I took a quick look at the Castle Shannon Borough webpage and found nothing about parking tickets...maybe a non-emergency call to their police department...

is there a ticket stub number? something pre-printed that possibly can reference the pigs' - um...the police's copy? if there is, you can call them and offer that number to see how much you have to pay.

ive seen (i forget where) tickets on windshields after they were inserted into clear plastic baggies.

Port Authority AND local police regularly patrol all park and ride lots, so it could be Port police or Castle Shannon PD in your case.

If you don't pay it, they'll mail you a notice. Happened to me when I got a parking ticket on the North Side. As far as I know, I was not charged an additional fee for them to send me a notice. Same as you though - I couldn't read the ticket. It had been snowed on and ruined.

Is it possible to pay a ticket from Port Authority PD online? Or am I going to have to call them specifically some time and talk through my ticket? I honestly can't tell who wrote it.

Also... is this NOT the right place for me to be checking on if I'm in the system?

That is for City of Pittsburgh parking, your ticket is either Castle Shannon or Port Authority. City tickets will be hot pink on the top and bottom. I couldn't find any pictures of Castle Shannon or Port Authority though.
