Parking ticket money

Meter maids are officially called "Right of Way Enforcement Agents" in Denver. In 2015, they handed out 658,900 tickets.

With only 65 agents, that works out to more than 10,000 tickets per agent.



In total, the city collected $30 million in parking tickets during 2015.

The total made from meters filled legally: $11 million. That's less than one-third of what the city took in from parking tickets.
