Chicago bike lane ticketing program records big fines against delivery companies – Chicago Tribune/Yahoo

Roughly a year and a half since the program's creation, the city has issued tens of thousands of warnings and citations under the program and has issued nearly $2.6 million in fines to impeders of bike lanes, bus lanes and bus stops. Vehicles owned by Amazon Logistics, FedEx and UPS were charged a combined $460,000 for bus stop, bus lane and bike lane violations between November 2024 and early this May, according to the data.

What about ticketing bikers for not following the rules of the road?

This revenue stream for the City in the form of Tickets is likely factored into the cost of delivery in Chicago. There is no where else for these delivery companies to logically park to make the deliveries…so the consumer gets higher prices and the City gets the ticket violation revenue…just another hidden tax game.
