City Announces Parking Ticket Amnesty Plan

Drivers who are late in paying their parking tickets will get a grace period to pay red-light and parking fines before it becomes easier for the City of Chicago to apply Denver boots to immobilize scofflaws' cars.

Currently, the city boots the cars of drivers with three or more unpaid tickets for a year. The new rule allows the city to boot the cars of drivers with two or more unpaid tickets for a year.

Under the new amnesty plan announced by the Chicago Department of Revenue, drivers will get a chance to catch up and avoid the boot from Monday to Feb. 14, according to a statement issued by department spokesman Ed Walsh.
