                  Beat Your Parking Ticket From Your Car

The District's beleaguered motorists can now use their cell phone to help beat a weekday avalanche of over six thousand parking summonses.

1-888-DC-PARKING, a new parking ticket fighting automated telephone system powered by the technology of parkingticket.com will be demonstrated to the Press in the Senate Room of the Mayflower Hotel, Promenade Floor, on Wednesday, June 2nd, 2004 at 11:00 A.M.

1-888-DC-PARKING allows anyone, no matter where they are, to start fighting their parking ticket by simply calling the toll-free 1-888-DC-PARKING phone number.

"Nearly two million summonses are issued annually in the District," declared parkingticket.com President, Glen Bolofsky, "and now, for the first time ever, people will be able to instantly fight a ticket the very moment it is issued."

Most people don't even know they can fight their parking tickets let alone have the time to go to court or write a letter that details their defense. "The 1-888-DC-PARKING system provides a convenient way to contest a summons from your car, home or office," states Bolofsky.

The June 2nd 2004 press conference will feature a live demonstration of the 1-888-DC-PARKING automated system. The press is invited to bring outstanding parking summonses and give the system a work over.

At no additional cost, 1-888-DC-PARKING will request an official copy of a summons in the event the original copy was either mutilated or is hard to read. Maximizing public convenience the service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

  Fighting a parking ticket by phone is quick, easy and convenient:
   -- Customer calls: 1-888-DC-PARKING
   -- Enters parking ticket into telephone using phone keypad
   -- Enters credit card information
   -- "Sends" information to parkingticket.com website
   -- Customer can instantly access their ticket information on the
      parkingticket.com website when they return to their home or office
   -- The website will provide specific instructions which includes either a
      confidential, customized dismissal letter, a request for an official
      copy of the original summons or a notification to pay the fine
      expeditiously in order to avoid penalties

Mark Conrad, a former Parking Ticket Hearing Judge who helped design the 1-888-DC-PARKING system said that it would make it easier for people to respond expeditiously and to gain dismissals. "It will even facilitate the District's swifter adjudication of parking tickets," he said, "by providing a standardized format to allow a more efficient review of each contested summons."

If a summons that led to a car being towed away is contested and won, he pointed out, not only is the summons fine eliminated, but the accompanying towing charge is killed as well.

Retired Washington, D.C. Police Officer William Koval pointed out that a system like this would do a lot to increase the public's awareness that a summons can be easily and legally disputed without giving the issuing Officer a hard time. "This will make it easier for the guys in the field," stated Officer Koval, and, "people can start fighting their tickets instantly using their cell phones."

The 1-888-DC-PARKING system will officially commence service at 5 P.M. June 2nd, 2004 at the heart of the District's evening rush hour.
