- Program offered from May 1-16
- Scofflaws urged to pay before upcoming increase in fines
As a prelude to the City’s planned rate hike on all parking tickets, the City of Detroit Municipal Parking Department (MPD) will implement a parking amnesty program slated to run from May 1 through May 16. The amnesty program will reduce all fines, penalties, and fees that are three years and older by thirty percent. This amnesty program will also include anyone who has entered into payment plans. The amnesty program does not apply to vehicles that have been booted.
In addition to the upcoming rate increase on all parking tickets beginning June 1, 2014, MPD will take more aggressive enforcement measures including driver’s license holds, civil lawsuits, garnishments, credit marking, and the booting and impoundment of vehicles with six or more unpaid parking tickets.
“There is no better time to resolve your parking issues and take advantage of this 30% reduction,” said James Canty, Municipal Parking Department Manager. “We understand these are tough economic times, therefore, MPD would like to offer assistance to everyone before your vehicle is booted.”
For more information, call customer service at (313) 963-9630. Fines may be paid from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday – Thursday and 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Fridays at 1001 Tenth Street.
