from $100 to $300 starting in 30 days — early January.from the city’s ombudsman that recommended the city clarify and revise laws on vehicle noise that were difficult or impossible to enforce.
City officials hope the increased fine will deter noisy vehicles and motivate people to get their vehicles’ mufflers fixed. Currently, if a person gets the $100 ticket for a vehicle noise violation, the fine can be waived if the owner of the vehicle gets the noisy muffler repaired and brings the vehicle in for inspection at the police department’s downtown headquarters, Volland said.Right now, paying the fine is often cheaper. The new fine brings the amount closer to what it costs to actually repair a muffler, Volland said.
“It’s one of the more urban neighborhoods in Anchorage and we are pounded by sound on all sides,” he said.
