Proposal Would Have Drivers Paying Less for Tickets Based on Income
SAN FRANCISCO, CA - JANUARY 21: A parking ticket is seen on the windshield of a FedEx truck on January 21, 2011 in San Francisco, California. In an effort to eliminate a projected $21.2 million budget deficit by June 30, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency has ordered parking and traffic officers to write more parking tickets and plans to reduce employee overtime.

Are you one who believes tickets should be adjusted based on a driver’s income? If you’re an unlucky person who gets parking tickets in Boston, you already know they can range up to $120. But City Councilor Julia Mejia has proposed a new law that would help low income families be able to actually pay parking tickets on time so those fines don’t increase. The fines would be adjusted based on how much money said driver makes. However not everyone is on board with this idea saying that even low income families need to obey the rules of the road. Meija’s proposal will be heard today during a hearing in front of the Boston City Council.
