As of next week you might see some of the ACROD Parking Program‘s “This Bay is Someone’s Day” campaign materials popping up around the City of Kalamunda. These materials include ACROD bay stickers reminding people to ‘Park Right, Day and Night’ and ranger cards reminding drivers who misuse the bays of the real-life implications their actions can have on the lives of permit-holders. Don’t forget, the on-the-spot fine for illegally parking in an ACROD bay has increased from $300 to $500 while court imposed penalties have risen from $2000 to $5000.
Please follow and encourage your club members to follow the ‘This Bay is Someone’s Day’ Facebook page<https://kalamunda.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ee2cc435795015fd6d50d6278&id=20697f95e6&e=9345d42391> to see real life stories of ACROD permit holders and what having access to the bays means to them.
