Yolanda,

The city has a few different payment plan options for parking tickets. Check the Department of Finance website or call 312-744-PARK to get more info.

Is there any payment plans being offered if your license are suspended due to parking tickets. The city would make more money if they made payment plans more reasonable. Its very hard being on a fixed income working two jobs and to pay for parking tickets.

Jahawk…

Enforcement by its nature MUST be Equal and Impartial.

If I ticket in the Gold Coast…I have to ticket in Austin or Little Village or Englewood.

Unlike the Police Department….Department of Finance Parking Enforcement Aides are not ALLOWED to pick and choose…though a large majority are lazy and violate the policy every day by claiming “Oh I didn’t know we could write that.”

I have been driving since I was 17 years I have had an very very good. driving. record, but the parking tickets has stop me from driving and after loosing several cars to the city and thousands of dollars trying to clear up this matter I find myself in the same boat. Please find a plan to help us get out of debtinstead of a plan to keep us down

It’s ashame hear in such a great city we have this typ of parking ticket condition to pay fine . I am not saying we shouldn”t pay a fine but there should be some consideration for the low – come and the elederly .San Francisco Ca has project 20 program to help pay off tickets and is still collecting reverue fo their city , so why can’t we .The city of Chicago is just low down on poor people .

Pete is correct on RLC tickets. They are not considered moving violations. Cell phone tickets have been changed from moving violations to administrative violations like RLCs and parking tickets and don’t go on your record either.

These moves are more about revenue than anything else. It’s the same reasoning behind making possession of marijuana an expensive administrative ticket and not a traditional felonious violation of the law.

DoR, I’ve never received a red light camera ticket either. I believe it to be a small miracle considering how much I drive, how many RLC intersections I go through in a day/week/month/year and how many darn parking tickets I’ve picked up in my lifetime. It’s shocking really. Makes no sense.

No, red light camera tickets are most definitely not a moving violation. They are basically the same as a parking ticket, in that they do not affect one’s driving record. The city just wants the money.

Geek, there might be a different rule for RLC tickets since they qualify as a Moving VIolation
