The District of Columbia lost more than $55 million in outstanding traffic and parking tickets in fiscal year 2014.
That's according to figures released Monday by AAA Mid-Atlantic.
The agency says most of the lost revenue comes from 278,000 unpaid parking tickets totaling nearly $31 million. More than $18 million went unpaid from photo enforcement tickets, and nearly $6 million was lost from traffic violations.
While high, the figures represent a decrease from the previous fiscal year in 2013, when AAA says 574,000 citations totaling $72 million went unpaid.
