Parking violation late fees waived in exchange for canned good donations
SALEM – Mayor Dominick Pangallo has announced that the City of Salem is once again offering its “Peas for Fees” parking violation ticket fee amnesty program.
The City’s annual “Peas for Fees” ticket amnesty program began on December 1 and will run through December 23. The program allows for the waiver of late fees on parking violations in exchange for a donation of canned goods and non-perishable items. All food will go to local Salem food pantries.
Up to $30 in late fees will be waived in exchange for the donation of at least two canned goods or non-perishable items at the City Collector’s Office at Salem City Hall. City Hall is open Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Thursdays from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., and Fridays from 8:00 a.m. to noon.
The “Peas for Fees” program has become an annual tradition in Salem and has successfully brought in donations of food for those in need and also additional revenues for the City. In the spirit of the holidays, this amnesty program will once again give individuals who owe late fees an incentive to pay their tickets while also providing additional food supplies to needy food pantries.
