Las Vegas, NV (KXNT) - With the holiday season looming, the city of Las Vegas is once again giving those with parking tickets the chance to pay their fines with toys.
The toys will then be given to children during the holidays through the city’s Flexible Housing Program which helps link homeless families to housing units.
Under the program, any driver that is issued a non-public safety parking ticket from Oct. 19 through Nov. 16 can choose to resolve the ticket by providing a child-appropriate, unwrapped new toy of equal or greater value than the ticket fine.
Not all types of tickets qualify for the program. The following types of tickets are excluded:
- Any handicap-related violation
- No Stopping/No Standing
- Red curb
- Sidewalk 18” from curb
- Double parking
- Blocking alley
- Too close to intersection, crosswalk, stop/yield sign
- No-parking areas
- Bike lane
