The Philadelphia Parking Authority will have even more eyes on the streets in Center City in the spring. Officials plan to start using artificial intelligence cameras to catch drivers parking illegally in bus lanes and issue parking tickets.

The PPA said AI cameras will be mounted on several SEPTA buses and trolleys in Center City. The new system is set to begin on May 1. According to the PPA, there will be more public outreach to get the word out before it begins. There will also be a two-week warning period for drivers before that start date.

Rich Lazer, the executive director of the PPA, said tickets will be reviewed before the violations are issued to the drivers.
