What must cities do if they decide to retain fines from commercial vehicle enforcement?

If cities choose to retain fines from commercial vehicle enforcement, they are required to document expenses related to that enforcement. This practice ensures transparency and accountability regarding how the collected fines are being utilized. By keeping accurate records of enforcement-related expenses, cities can provide evidence that the funds are being used in a manner consistent with their intended purpose, supporting public safety initiatives, infrastructure improvements, or additional enforcement efforts.

In many jurisdictions, the authority to keep these fines may come with the stipulation that cities maintain detailed documentation to show that the fines serve a broader public interest and contribute to the enforcement efforts. This process helps to build trust in the community and demonstrates that the fines collected are being reinvested into maintaining and improving road safety and compliance among commercial vehicles.

The other choices, while they may relate to various aspects of governance or funding, do not directly correlate to the requirement of retaining fines from enforcement actions in a way that proves accountability and proper use of the funds collected.
