Violations carrying about $173.2 million in issued fines.
Collected in addition to base-fine payments.
What the headline misses
Tickets are also an administrative system.
The underlying report shows where the cost concentrates—and why organized evidence, dates, and records matter before a hearing request or payment deadline.
Work vehicles absorb a measurable share.
Commercial plates received 1,508,119 violations; taxi plates received 641,623. Together, their issued fines totaled $173,214,250.
A hearing is not the same as a guaranteed dismissal.
There were 1,584,222 violations with hearings. Of those, 419,192 received not-guilty decisions, representing 26.46% of heard violations.
Late administration has its own price.
NYC collected $111,327,539 in penalties and $2,690,513 in interest on violations issued in FY2025.
Automated enforcement expanded quickly.
The report says MTA camera violations increased 551% in FY2025 after Automated Camera Enforcement expanded along bus routes.
