Binghamton New York Parking Ticket Amnesty Program Unveiled

Got unpaid traffic tickets? Well, that's not a good thing. The longer you wait, the more they are going to cost when you do pay them.

According to the Gannes & Musico website, fines could double or triple in New York State if they go unpaid. And the New York State DMV could even impose additional penalties, such as the Driver Responsibility Assessment fee. On top of that, your driver's license could be suspended.

On the subject of unpaid tickets, if you have an unpaid parking ticket in the City of Binghamton, there is good news. Binghamton Mayor Jared Kraham has announced a parking ticket amnesty program.

From November 15, 2024, through December 31, 2024, the total cost of any parking ticket issued in the City of Binghamton before November. 25, 2024 may be paid at the initial fine rate. Late fees and penalties will be waived.

For anyone with unpaid parking tickets in the City of Binghamton, this is a great chance to clean up outstanding fines and avoid paying extra in late penalties. It’s also an opportunity for the City to bring in additional revenue by collecting more of what’s owed in unpaid parking fines.- City of Binghamton Mayor Jared Kraham

One exception to the amnesty program - additional New York State surcharges, such as fees for illegally parking in a space reserved for people with disabilities, are not forgiven.

According to the Office of the Mayor, there were just under 3500 unpaid parking tickets as of mid-October and approximately $195,400 owed in unpaid fines.
