 As
of September 2000, Upper Darby Township
has introduced to the public our new
Park Card.
Imagine... a faster, easier way to pay
for parking ...at Upper Darby Township
meters.
The Upper Darby Township Parking
Enforcement Department is pleased to
introduce a valuable new service for
people who use Upper Darby Township
parking meters.
The new PARK CARD is designed
specifically for your daily use at all

4. How Does The Park
Card Work?
- Simply insert the Park Card into
any Upper Darby Twp. parking meter card
slot, which is next to the coin
slot.
- The meter will flash the dollar
balance remaining on the card four
times.
- The meter will then begin to
register the amount of time being added
to the meter.
- Once the correct amount of time has
registered, remove the Park Card.
Please Note: If you fail to
remove the Park Card once the correct
time has registered, it will continue
to add time up to the posted time
allowed on the meter. The meter will
not register more than the posted
parking time limit. You can add
additional time to a meter with the
Park Card by first inserting your card
and adding the amount of time you want.
If you still have time on your meter
and wish to add additional time, first
you must retrieve the unused time then
insert the card again to add any
additional time. If you receive an
"Err" message, check to see if you are
inserting the card properly. (The card
must be right side up and the black
arrow pointing into the
meter.)
