On Wednesday July 22, over 300 taxi drivers, along with allies from Media Mobilizing Project, Workers United, Philadelphia Student Union, Casino Free Philadelphia, Jobs with Justice and IWW rallied at 3101 Market Street outside the headquarters of the Philadelphia Parking Authority (PPA). The rally was focused on a list of demands taxi drivers have for the PPA:
- Fair parking ticket practices and an end to drive-by ticketing practices,
- A lowering of new PPA fees where, for instance, it now costs drivers $200 to put a new taxi on the road, and
- A return of all credit card money that has been misplaced from drivers' accounts through the PPA run credit card system.
