The era of the free rush hour “relocation” tow is nearly over.

The D.C. Council on Tuesday tentatively approved legislation establishing a “vehicle conveyance fee,” perhaps as much as $100, for relocating an illegally parked car during the morning or evening rush hours. The still-to-be-established fee would be on top of the $100 ticket that all drivers receive for leaving their cars in designated rush hour lanes between 7 and 9:30 a.m. and 4 and 6:30 p.m.
