Transportation

Councilmember White shares the concerns of his constituents when it come to transportation issues from the excessive amount of traffic and parking tickets that residents receive to the accessibility of public transportation. Some of the legislation that Councilmember White has introduced and co-introduced include:

• Traffic and Parking Ticket Penalty Amendment Act of 2017 - this bill eliminates the financial penalties for failure to pay certain civil motor vehicle infractions within 30 days
• Parking and Moving Violation Amnesty Act of 2017 - this bill requires the Director of the Department of Motor Vehicles to implement an amnesty program for District residents who owe more than $1,000 for certain motor vehicle violations. The bill would require the resident to pay 60% of the fines owed and the remaining balance would be waived.
