It feels good to be able to give back to the community and it's even better to do that in lieu of paying for your parking fines. Cities like Muncie in Indiana and Anchorage in Alaska have launched initiatives allowing violators to donate instead of simply paying their outstanding fines.

While in Anchorage, the organization managing parking services accepts school supply donations in exchange for paying off outstanding fines.
