MONTGOMERY, AL (WSFA)- If you have outstanding traffic violations - you may want to pay close attention. The City of Montgomery will be offering an amnesty program for two days in June to help you take care of your fines.

The amnesty program will remove certain fees, eliminate warrants for arrest and allow the option of payment plans for individuals who meet the amnesty criteria and show up for the program on the specified dates.

The program will be available to individuals with traffic fines totaling less than $2,500. Those eligible must either make a minimum payment of $150, or pay 10% of the outstanding balance on their fine - whichever is greater.

The City of Montgomery has become one of the first
municipalities in the state to help citizens embrace electric automobiles.

Alabama Power joined Montgomery Mayor Todd Strange this
morning in dedicating the city's first municipally owned electric vehicle
charging station.

The station is located in a parking space at the
intersection of Commerce and Tallapoosa streets in downtown Montgomery. The
space is open in two hour increments to any electric vehicle needing to be
charged.
