NYC Parking/ Traffic Violation Income

[greg0303]

According to The New York Post drivers in New York City are doing good.

Here's the proof:


Year: 2010 /2009


Red-light camera tickets: 1,000,598/ 710,978

Red-light camera ticket revenue: $ 55.4M/ $ 32.4M

Parking tickets: 9,284,785 /9,994,849

Parking ticket revenue: $ 540M /$ 557M

Cars towed: 125,793 /114,819

Towing revenue: $ 52M/ $ 51M


For the first time ever the city ticketed more than 1 million vehicles for running a red light and getting caught on camera. The city's 150 secret cameras (50 were installed in 2009) nabbed on average of 2,741 drivers a day in 2010 (that's 18 vehicles per camera every day).

In September city marshals were authorized to tow any vehicle with $350 or more owed for any traffic/ parking violations.

The camera tickets (bus stops, bus lanes, turns from wrong lane) were overseen by The Department of Transportation and are not included in this Department of Finance database.


For the record - I participated in 2009. Twice.

You have to support your city, right?

We dont have traffic cameras and usually the cops here have more on there hands to deal with other than traffic.

If your participation is via red light camera, keep in mind that this activity could lead to a situation that, contrary to most Internet comments, will not buff out.

I heard on the radio that some city was selling the future income from parking meters. You pay now, then have the income from your meter(s) sent to you. Chicago???

I thought New D/A Microfiber Correction System can take care of all car related problems.

No red-light cameras, parking violations.


To everybody who comes to New York City - don't park closer than 15 feet from fire hydrant. They meter it now.

Re: NYC Parking/ Traffic Violation Income

Don't quote me but I believe Chicago has the most red light tickets anywhere. We also have random "speed cameras" around certain parks and schools. Anything over 7mph will trigger a ticket and 10mph will be even more expensive. Chicago also leads the nation in crime cameras and shot spotter technology. The "shot spotters" are now able to pinpoint where the gun shots are coming from.
