SFMTA Bumps Up Parking Fees, Really Wants to Stick it to You For Parking in that Handicap Zone

The SFMTA announced some increased fees and fines today: neighborhood parking passes are going up a couple bucks. Starting in July, a year of street parking will now run you an even $100 before you inevitably forget to move your car for street sweeping. The big fine increase is for the handicap zone violations, which will now set you back a steep $850. So the next time you're thinking of borrowing a handicap zone while you run in the store for a pack of smokes, ask yourself if it's really worth blowing most of your rent money on it. [SFEx/CBS]
