If you haven't bought a Riverside vehicle sticker in recent years and are afraid that going to buy one now will just land you a boatload of late fees, listen up:

Between now and March 12, the village is offering limited amnesty for vehicle sticker scofflaws. During this amnesty, late fees from prior years (up to three years - 2006-07, 2007-08 and 2008-09) will be forgiven if you buy the stickers from the prior years as well as the 2009-10 sticker.

The amnesty will save scofflaws $330 in prior-year late fees. Late fees for the current year will still be applied.

After March 12, the village is planning to begin an aggressive vehicle sticker enforcement campaign and any late fees from prior years will not be forgiven then.

For more information, to view an amnesty fee schedule and to apply for a 2009-10 vehicle sticker, go to the Village of Riverside's Web site at www.riverside.il.us. A link to the vehicle sticker amnesty materials can be found on the home page.
