City of New Orleans offering an amnesty program for past-due parking, traffic tickets
NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — The City of New Orleans will offer a limited time amnesty program for past-due parking and traffic camera tickets.
According to city officials, the program will allow people to pay their tickets without late fees until Aug. 31. Anyone with a parking ticket more than 30 days old or a traffic camera ticket more than 60 days old that was issued before June 1 can have late fees waived.
New Orleans Business and External Services Deputy CAO Austin Wilty said the city is owed over $180 million in unpaid tickets.

The program is open to everyone, regardless of where they live.
'This is about meeting people where they are,' said Mayor LaToya Cantrell. 'By removing late fees, we're making it easier for people to take care of what they owe and move forward; without added stress or penalties.'
The city has done this program before in 2019 and 2022.
