NYC Might Start Paying You to Report Illegal Parkers

NYC mulls paying you to report illegal parkers. Here's how it would work.

Updated 52 mins agoA new proposal to increase city parking enforcement by incentivizing New Yorkers to report illegally parked cars is gaining a lot of attention.

The bill, introduced to the City Council, would give people making the report a 25% cut of a $175 proposed ticket fine -- that's $44. Participating New Yorkers would send in photos or video of vehicles blocking bike lanes, sidewalks, crosswalks and school entrances or exits. Under the bill, a civilian reporting program would be established by the Department of Transportation where complaints would be submitted. Then, the DOT would bring the evidence to the Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings in order to determine if the 25% kickback would be awarded.
