Obviously, New York City blew the competition out of the water. With expensive parking garage fees, scarce street parking, and tons of opportunity for misunderstanding where it’s kosher to park, New York brought in a whopping $545 million in parking tickets, or $63.20 per capita. Chicago, which came in second at $264 million, has the distinguished honor of the most expensive parking meters in the US. Since private companies took over the meter system, prices have risen, and Chicagoans are spending hundreds of millions on parking every year.
On a per capita basis, however, Baltimore brought in the most money, with around $62 million total, and $100 per person.
