Walking to your car to find a ticket on your windshield can seriously ruin your day. But now the city of Olathe is offering a trade.

They’re letting people donate some school supplies instead of paying traffic and parking fines.

You can donate $15 worth of school supplies like backpacks, markers, binders, notebooks, dry erase markers, then bring your receipt when you make your donation, and the city will give you a $50 credit on traffic and parking fines.
