FTA recognises that operators are being unfairly inundated with Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) for violation of parking and loading and unloading restrictions and with recent changes to the Traffic Management Act, which gives local authorities new responsibilities to enforce parking, it is essential that operators have plans in place to manage and reduce parking fines. In reaction to this, FTA’s PCN Support Service has been developed to assist members in the management of their PCNs. The service incorporates a host of solutions from auditing your organisation's systems and practices to training courses and support material designed to help you adopt best practice techniques and take control of your own PCN issues.
The service incorporates the following solutions.
Free supporting materials for members to help with the management and cost reduction of PCNs, including a compliance guide, code of practice and driver tools.
A comprehensive examination of your existing PCN management practices with tailor made solutions to meet your organisation's individual needs.
Training courses for both managers and drivers, designed to raise awareness and allow a business to take control of their PCN issues.
A service designed to manage the recording, investigation, appeal and payment of PCNs.
