Denver's $74 million parking ticket amnesty falls flat
Original: Denver is offering amnesty for $74 million in parking tickets. So far they’ve collected less than 1% of it
Denver is running an amnesty program for roughly $74 million in outstanding parking tickets, but collections so far have come in at under 1% of that total. The city's effort to recover unpaid fines is clearly falling short, raising questions about whether the program's terms are generous enough to draw people in or whether the debtors simply cannot pay.
Why now: A city amnesty program collecting under 1% of eligible debt highlights the failure of an unusual local policy experiment.
