D.C.'s ticket amnesty revenue $1m below projections

The latest total for the revenue recovered by the District in its ticket amnesty program falls well short of projections, although city officials say they still expect to near their mark.

The District has recovered $4.95 million in unpaid traffic tickets and fees as of last week, Department of Motor Vehicles Director Lucinda Babers told The Washington Examiner. The department had projected that $6.3 million in fines would be recovered when it launched the six-month program in July.
