Daily News | Philadelphia Parking Authority names Kenney’s labor aide as new director
Lazer’s hiring came after what the PPA described as a national search for a new leader. The agency hired a recruitment firm, which fielded 50 applicants. A dozen candidates were interviewed, the authority said in a statement.Lazer, 37, is one of Kenney’s longtime allies and has spent more than 15 years in city government. A South Philly native, he got his start as an intern while studying at La Salle University, and later landed a job as an aide for then-Councilmember Kenney.
Lazer was not immediately available for an interview, but in a statement, he broadly spoke to the need for the city to expand its transit options beyond private automobiles as the economy struggles to bounce back from the pandemic. “It should be easier to park and safer to walk, bike, or travel our streets by vehicles, from cars to taxis to buses,” he said. “I understand and appreciate the complexity of our transportation system, and I know that all of these agencies must work together to benefit Philadelphians.”
It was not immediately clear who would take Lazer’s role as the mayor’s top labor official. The Kenney administration said it would appoint a successor before Lazer’s last day on Nov. 30.
