MAYOR
WALSH ANNOUNCES TEMPORARY PARKING ENFORCEMENT CHANGES
|
BOSTON
- Thursday, March 26, 2020 - To address the transportation needs of
residents, health care providers and businesses during the ongoing COVID-19
public health emergency, Mayor Martin J. Walsh and the Boston
Transportation Department (BTD) today announced updated enforcement
regulations and transportation services.
"During
this challenging time, we're doing all we can to keep our residents healthy
and safe," said Mayor Walsh. "We understand transportation is a
need and concern for residents and medical professionals, and these updated
policies will help everyone during this ongoing public health
crisis."
The
following updates to parking enforcement policies are in effect until
further notice in the City of Boston:
Resident Parking
Residents
with a valid resident permit sticker will be allowed to park in a metered
or two-hour parking space, without having to adhere to the time limit or
pay a meter fee, within their specific neighborhood.
For
cars without the relevant resident permit parking sticker, standard time
limit and meter requirements remain in place.
Street Cleaning
BTD
has not been ticketing and towing for street cleaning, given challenges to
finding alternative places to park in neighborhoods.
Inspection Stickers and Registration
BTD
will not ticket for expired inspection stickers or registrations, given
potential challenges for people to renew inspections and registrations at
this time.
Parking Garages
BlueBikes
The
City of Boston and its municipal partners of Brookline, Cambridge, Everett,
and Somerville are offering all hospital staff a free 30-day pass for our
public bike share, Bluebikes. To learn more about how to sign up for the
program, visit
boston.gov .
Pick Up/Drop Off Zones for Small Businesses
To
help small businesses that have been impacted by COVID-19, BTD is creating
temporary pick up zones in front of restaurants that have transitioned to
takeout and delivery only. Takeout food pickup zones restrict parking to
five minutes to increase convenience for the quick pickup and delivery of
takeout food from restaurants, and provide adequate room for social
distancing of six feet or more. Restaurants that would like to request a
temporary pick up zone can do so on
boston.gov. Requests will be evaluated on a case by case basis.
With
the exception of those changes noted above, BTD will continue to enforce
parking violations, with a focus on public safety violations, such as
blocking a hydrant, sidewalk or handicap ramp.
Additional
resources and information about COVID-19 are available on boston.gov/coronavirus.
Resources available on boston.gov and
through City departments, including support for small businesses; free meals
for Boston students; free toiletries for Boston students; emergency
childcare centers -- including 27 centers in Boston -- support for older
residents; information on homeless shelters; transportation options for
healthcare workers; resources for those in recovery or those who have a
substance use disorder; and mental health resources.
For
additional questions or programs, please visit boston.gov/coronavirus or
call 3-1-1, Boston's 24-hour constituent hotline. Text BOSCOVID to 99411 to
receive text
alerts on a regular basis, available in six languages.
