Legal Question in Traffic Law in Pennsylvania

Unpaid parking tickets

I have to go to court on monday because over the last 1 1/2 years i accumulated 49 parking tickets and now with all the fees it is up to $4000. I didnt pay them because I made very little last year(13k gross) and only had enough to barely cover my rent and car payment. I never heard anythig about the tickets til a month ago when I got a call from the constible telling me to come in to get a court date. can I go to jail for this...what are my options?

Re: Unpaid parking tickets

No you cannot go to jail for a parking ticket, unless you do not pay the fines imposed by the court. The court must set a payment schedule for you fitting your income.
