A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was sent to the City of Bridgeport regarding unpaid parking violations on October 28, 2024. The request was made by East Central Reporter, a media organization dedicated to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs.
In our pursuit of transparency and accountability in public institutions, we asked for a list of all currently unpaid parking violations. The requested details include the name of the offender, their address, the amount due, violation date, and total due.
As a news organization involved in gathering and reporting news to the public, access to such public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities. We believe that we are eligible for a fee waiver as media professionals given our role in disseminating information.
We will continue to seek out information that promotes transparency and holds public institutions accountable. Please stay tuned for updates on this story as we receive more information from the City of Bridgeport.
