They're talking about SPEEDING tickets and Red light tickets. You sound ignorant to the issue where cars rack up thousands through blatantly illegal driving that endangers DC residents.
Both are important. Also, some of the folks racking up thousands in tickets are criminals in VA/MD who commit crimes in DC, so it's really just another angle to addressing problems in our city.
Know what else endangers DC residents? Murders. And carjacking. And illegal motorcycles and quads.
But sure, let’s discuss tickets and bike lanes and stuff.
don't ride a bike, but really sick of the sh*t driving in DC that goes without any repercussion. And yes, often enough those people with sh*t driving are criminals anyways.
Not sure why you propose being soft on crime, but I support holding murders and carjackers accountable along with everyone else who breaks the law, including the sh*tty drivers I encounter every d*mn day commuting through this city. If DC MPD are not bothering to actually pull people over, this is the other way to nab them.

There should be ticket reciprocity.

LOL.
DC doesn’t even enforce traffic violations on its own citizens. They don’t have the bandwidth to do what OP is suggesting.

I think the naysayers live in MD or VA.
I like the idea OP. It's abhorrent that we have a system that lets fragrantly awful drivers accrue thousands in tickets without repercussion.

For example, I am a DC resident and I get a $40 parking ticket in VA. I should be able to take my ticket to the DC government and they will reduce the amount owed by VA residents in unpaid tickets to DC. Further, DC will not add any points to my driving record that VA and MD try to add until such time VA and MD residents' balances are paid in full (or reciprocity is agreed between the three jurisdictions).
Can the state of VA or MD try to place a collections notice on an out-of-state individual for an unpaid ticket?
Why isn't DC fighting fire with fire on this issue? Let us offset any tickets incurred in VA or MD!
They should be collecting on tickets. Period.

What is there for Congress to approve? Pretty sure this can be done through administrative powers of the Mayor.
