Denver Parking Ticket Amnesty Program Collects Less Than 1% of $74 Million Target
Denver is offering amnesty for $74 million in parking tickets, but has collected less than 1% of the total amount so far.
Denver, CO, October 29, 2026 — In Denver, a city-wide amnesty program aimed at clearing outstanding parking tickets has seen a notably low collection rate, having gathered less than 1% of the total $74 million in tickets eligible for the program.
The amnesty initiative, designed to provide relief and encourage compliance for residents with accumulated parking debt, encompasses a significant financial sum. The total value of parking tickets included in the amnesty program reaches $74 million. However, data indicates that the amount collected by the city under this program to date represents a fraction of that total, falling below 1%.
The specific start and end dates for this amnesty program were not provided in the available information. Furthermore, the details regarding the terms and conditions of the amnesty, such as any reduced payment amounts or specific eligibility criteria for ticket types, have not been made public.
The program’s objective is typically to allow individuals to resolve old parking violations, often with a reduction in fines, thereby clearing their records and potentially avoiding further penalties. However, the low collection rate suggests either limited public participation, a long duration for the program, or other factors influencing engagement.
As of the latest available figures, the amount collected is less than 1% of the $74 million target. This figure translates to less than $740,000 being recovered by the city from the massive pool of outstanding tickets. The reasons behind this low collection rate have not been elaborated upon.
Information regarding the agency or department responsible for managing the amnesty program in Denver was not specified. Consequently, details about the process for individuals to participate in the amnesty, potential payment plans, or the administrative steps involved are also not available. The outcome and future plans for the program remain uncertain given the current collection performance.
