The Syracuse Common Council has passed legislation against the use of off-road vehicles such as ATVs and dirt bikes on city streets.
The city is now able to impound an off-road vehicle, and the owner would have to pay a $2,000 redemption fee to get it back.
Other penalties for illegally riding off-road vehicles include a $500 fine for a first offense, $750 for a second and $1,000 for a third.
If an offender is ticketed for a third offense, they can be charged for a misdemeanor and sentenced to up to a year in jail.
