Parking Boot Pilot Program Rolls Out In Brooklyn
The city plans to give drivers racked up with outstanding parking tickets the boot – literally.
Starting Monday, June 25, in northern Brooklyn, cars with $350 worth of parking tickets that have been outstanding for more than 100 days beyond their pay date will not be towed, but instead will get an electronic boot on one of its wheels.
The new practice applies to motorists who didn’t respond to their parking ticket at all, who challenged the fine and did not succeed or who made a payment agreement and did not follow through. The program will eventually be rolled out citywide.
