Scofflaws may play Santa

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- The MIT Parking and Transportation Office will sponsor a Toys for Tickets program this holiday season.

In lieu of collecting fines for outstanding MIT parking violations, the parking office will accept new, unopened toys from Dec. 10 -14 and 17-20. The toy or game must be of equal or greater value than the fine for the parking violation.

Bring the parking ticket, the toy and receipt to the parking office in Building E32-105 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. The offer is good for any outstanding MIT parking violation, regardless of the date.

Most needed gifts are toys or games for 10 to 12 year olds.
