Fines not paid by out-of-state violators

Gregory Korte of The Cincinnati Enquirer analyzed nearly 100,000 parking tickets issued in Cincinnati last year, finding that “Kentucky violators rarely pay anything at all, because the office responsible for collecting fines doesn’t trace out-of-state license plates. That resulted in an out-of-state collection rate of just 2.5 percent, compared to 87.9 percent overall.” Fines for parking infractions increased in 2005.
