The Parking Association believes multiple changes are needed for chasing up unpaid fines.
In the three years to the end of 2024, just 68% of almost $29 thousand Auckland Transport fines were paid in part or in full.
While AT says it's not a straightforward process, Auckland Mayor Wayne Brown says he's asked for advice on making them better debt collectors.
Association chair Mike Kelly told Mike Hosking the psychology around it is one major issue.
He says there are lots of people who get tickets daily for repetitive offences and aren't too bothered, and the tickets end up with the Ministry of Justice.
