According to the Wall Street Journal, Nassau County has failed to collect $80 million in traffic, parking and red light camera tickets over the past 10 years! 

“The audit of the Traffic and Parking Violations Agency shows it had $44 million in uncollected traffic violation fines at the end of 2010,” (The Wall Street Journal).

Additionally, Nassau County has another $26 million in parking violation fines over the past six years, and $10 million in unpaid red light camera violations at the end of 2011 (The Wall Street Journal). 

George Maragos, Nassau Comptroller, said “the growing backlog of unpaid tickets was an urgent issue that required more aggressive collection efforts,” and suggested the county speed up the anticipated replacement of its computer system. 

What does this mean for Nassau County residents and ticket-holders? We can, at the very least, expect more aggressive collection efforts, penalties and fines.
