💨 Abstract

has launched a pilot program to reduce traffic and moving violation fines by 50% for SNAP benefit recipients. About 1,500 families may benefit from the reduction of fines from $100 to $50 for lower-level offenses like running a stop sign. The program, lasting several months, aims to maintain traffic safety while easing the financial burden on low-income drivers, who receive specific instructions to apply.
