Summary
Since November, the city has towed 2,190 vehicles with five or more overdue tickets and collected about $1 million in citations, much of it from drivers paying proactively. The money is new revenue for the cash-strapped transportation fund, though alders want proof the ordinance is changing behavior, not just collecting cash.
