Since February,
MPD, DPW, and DDOT have been working together on scofflaw enforcement that has recovered dozens of vehicles with hundreds of thousands of unpaid fines.

More to come on this!

❓Where are the impounded cars from? Of the 411: 185 Virginia; 102 DC; 77 Maryland; & 47 various other states.
❓Why not tow more cars? We have 3 impound lots & each near capacity; DPW working on ways to speed up moving impounded cars off the lots.

❓Why so many cars still at our impound lots? Because obtaining the car title so we can auction or scrap the car can take quite some time - especially for Virginia-tagged cars.
❓How much do we get for auctioning or scrapping cars? Not much: $25k for scrap & $24k for auction.
