FedEx and UPS acquired an astonishing debt of $2.8 million in New York City parking tickets within the first three months of 2013. This year, NYC has set itself a target of collecting $550 million in parking fines. Typically, commercial delivery companies contribute a large chunk of that change.<\/p>\n

FedEx trucks parked illegally to unload packages are a common sight in NYC (image by TheeErin<\/a>).<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

According to\u00a0Digital Journal<\/a>, the city had already issued $10 million in tickets by March 2013. Fed Ex ($1.8 million) and UPS ($ 1 million) account for 28 percent, due to tight schedules and the lack of parking spaces.<\/p>\n

A UPS spokesperson said, \u201cIf we have to double-park, then yes, we will. It\u2019s the cost of doing business.\u201d New York Post\u00a0reports<\/a>:\u00a0\u201cNo one is happy about the situation except the city\u2019s bean counters. Some of the businesses have sued over alleged ticket blitzes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Parking tickets can be dismissed<\/b><\/p>\n

One way of getting tickets waived is if the delivery truck is making an \u201cexpeditious delivery\u201d\u2014a job done in less than half an hour. However, the process of getting a parking violation dismissed is anything but expeditious.<\/p>\n

Companies must send an employee or a ticket broker to court and argue for each ticket individually. This process takes time, ties up courts, and costs NYC a great deal of money. The city\u2019s solution?\u00a0Commercial Parking Programs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Parking programs save time and money<\/b><\/p>\n

NYC Delivery Solutions \u2014 one of the two commercial parking programs inducted by the city\u2019s Department of Finance \u2014 is a service for delivery companies. The Commercial Abatement Program is meant for companies that make service calls and pick-ups. Both these programs allow businesses to pay a preset fine, reducing the charge for every violation.<\/p>\n

In return, companies must waive their right to challenge parking violations. Though double-parking infractions are usually reduced, red light and bus lane violations must be paid for in full.<\/p>\n

These programs have succeeded in saving time and money<\/a> for both parties. Though, as Transportation Alternative\u2019s Paul Steely White points out, \u201cGetting a discount on a parking ticket just exacerbates the problem of congestion. They\u2019ll just park there all day long.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
