<div><strong class="bold-text-2">If you live in an American city, chances are good that you’ve experienced the ruthlessness of parking enforcement.</strong> Didn’t see the sign? That’s $50. Parked in the fire lane to make “a quick stop?” $75 for obstructing public safety.<br><br>
Parking needs to be regulated for efficient traffic flow and turnover in commercial districts. However, <a href="https://www.vera.org/downloads/publications/the-high-price-of-using-justice-fines-and-fees-washington.pdf" target="_blank" class="links">cities increasingly use fines and fees to fund operations.</a> In Seattle, parking tickets generate <a href="https://www.vera.org/downloads/publications/the-high-price-of-using-justice-fines-and-fees-washington.pdf" target="_blank" class="links">more than $20 million per year</a>—a substantial contribution to the city's revenue. Council members <a href="https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/parking-revenue-turns-councils-heads-not-our-convenience/" target="_blank" class="links">resisted implementing a mobile parking app</a> because the service “would make it easier for people to avoid parking tickets.”<br><br>But for tickets to be a source of revenue, citizens have to cooperate. To compel payment from those who would prefer to ignore citations, cities partner with private companies that directly profit from adding fines, fees, and interest on ticket debt.<br><br>
<em>Note: The data for this story is from a public records request to the city of Seattle, the only full calendar year available at the time of the request was from 2018. The city suspended late fees and collections from March 2020 until January 2023, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Data from </em>

<div><strong>It’s tempting to throw a parking ticket into your glove box and forget all about it.</strong> But if you rack up enough unpaid tickets, the city will remind you of your overdue fines by “booting” your car. There are many kinds of boots, but all are devices that immobilize a vehicle to prevent driving. Once booted, the owner must pay their entire outstanding ticket debt (fines, fees, and interest)—and an additional “boot fee” in order to unlock their car.</div>

The city partners with <a href="https://paylock.com/" class="links">Paylock</a>, a New Jersey company that provides digital “smart boots.” Payment is conveniently automated 24/7; just call, enter a credit card, and get a code that unlocks the boot. <br><br>Currently, the Seattle boot fee goes directly to Paylock. However, other cities charge an additional “administration fee” to cover the other costs of running a boot program: officers to apply and remove boots; staff and physical space for boot returns; software, technicians, and equipment to find and track vehicles with overdue tickets. In Houston (another Paylock customer) the administration fee is equal to the boot fee: both cost $188 for a total of $376.</div>

<div>The cost of a tow in Seattle is typically $400 or more, although this varies according to the vehicle’s weight and the distance to the tow lot. <a href="https://fortune.com/2023/05/23/inflation-economy-consumer-finances-americans-cant-cover-emergency-expense-federal-reserve/" target="_blank" class="links">According to the US Federal Reserve</a>, 37% of Americans lack enough money to cover a $400 emergency expense. One in four consumers would have to use credit, borrow from family, sell assets, or get a loan in order to cover the unexpected cost.</div>

<a href="https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=46.55.230" target="_blank" class="links"><strong>Washington state law</strong></a><strong>, tow operators must notify the registered vehicle owner when their car is towed.</strong> If the owner fails to claim their vehicle after 15 days, it is legally considered “abandoned” and can be sold by the tow company. <br><br>Towing companies sell abandoned vehicles at public auction. <strong><em>The vehicle owner can still owe money to the towing company if the auction proceeds don't fully cover towing and storage fees.</em></strong> Any surplus money from the auction belongs to the Washington State Department of Transportation, although the original vehicle owner can make a legal request to have excess funds returned to them.<br><br>Even after their car is auctioned, the original vehicle owner is still responsible for their ticket debt. <strong><em>The sale of the vehicle doesn't eliminate fines or fees, nor does it stop collection attempts from the city.</em></strong>

<div><strong>While it’s better to pay any parking tickets right away, people with low income may not be able to do so.</strong> In Seattle, a minimum wage worker would need to work for three hours to pay a $50 ticket. Additionally, the city’s own <a href="https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/ajpqc" target="_blank" class="links">research</a> confirms that tickets are issued disproportionately to low-income and minority citizens. <br><br>When parking tickets are unpaid, the original fine can snowball into a much larger debt.

<div><strong>The least profitable group for the city is the 21% of all citations that are fully unpaid.</strong> The majority of these unpaid boots (74%) resulted in tows, with less than a third of all vehicles reclaimed by their owners. The city bears the expense of ticketing, booting, towing, and disposal, without taking in any revenue. <br><br><em>For example, consider this Honda Civic that was booted, towed, and auctioned—because the owner didn't pay a $476 ticket debt.</em> The towing company auctioned the car for $250. Even though the owner lost their car, they still owe the original ticket fines of $476, as well as a new debt of $770 to Lincoln Towing for towing and storage.</div>

<div><strong>Here’s the problem: the city needs to manage a mundane but nonetheless precious and limited resource: parking.</strong> The current solution—ticketing—fails when it imposes catastrophic fines on a vulnerable, low-income population. <br><br>While the city does offer low-income debtors an opportunity to <a href="https://www.seattle.gov/courts/tickets-and-payments/i-cant-pay-my-ticket-right-now/community-service-plan" target="_blank" class="links">work off their ticket fines via community service</a>, minimum wage workers may not have the time or flexibility to do so. Seattle does also allow ticketed owners to ask for relief through “<a href="https://www.seattle.gov/courts/tickets-and-payments/i-cant-pay-my-ticket-right-now/ticket-debt-reduction-hearings" target="_blank" class="links">mitigation hearings</a>.” However, low-income citizens often fear interaction with what they see as a punitive bureaucracy. Therefore, low-income debtors are left to deal with three predatory city partners: booting companies, towing companies, and debt collection agencies.</div>
