The Ticket Amnesty Program began on August 1. Under the program, all penalties on outstanding tickets issued prior to January 1, 2010 are waived. Among the local jurisdictions, drivers in Maryland have paid the most tickets, 8,746, resulting in $475,360 in revenue for the District.

"We encourage all citizens to take advantage of this program and satisfy their old debts to DMV," said Lucinda Babers, Director of the Department of Motor Vehicles. "The fastest and most efficient way to pay amnesty tickets is online."
