"Parking Wars" is a reality television series which airs on the A&E television network. Cameras follow Philadelphia Parking Authority (PPA) employees in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, as they ticket, boot, and tow cars, as well as the bureaucracy involved with the public trying to retrieve vehicles at the impound lots. The series attempts to humanize parking enforcement professionals, who many view as an annoyance. The series airs two episodes back to back on Tuesdays at 10:00 p.m. ET.

Each episode consists of three segments, shown either in chronological order of a car entering the PPA violation system (ticket, boot/tow, impound) or reverse chronological order. Most of the "Booting" segments feature the team of Steve (better known by his last name, "Garfield"), a longtime PPA employee and self-professed "gadget geek", and his partner Sherry, who has "the fastest fingers on the Eastern Seaboard" according to her partner, as they travel on their assigned beats to track down cars with three tickets or more and "boot" them so that the owner cannot continue to drive a car with such a ticket burden.

One of the PPA tow truck drivers featured in the series, Martin, passed away shortly before the show's debut. The show's official page at aetv.com has a section dedicated to his memory.

The Parking Wars game was created by [http://www.areacodeinc.com/ area/code] for A&E.
