BOSTON - Tuesday,
April 13, 2021 - Mayor Janey today announced that the Boston Transportation
Department (BTD) has updated parking enforcement regulations in the City of
Boston. Starting Tuesday, April 20, parking enforcement will return
citywide, including towing during posted street sweeping and for parking in
spaces without an appropriate resident sticker. Also, BTD will not be
ticketing residents with an expired inspection sticker until May 31.
Additionally, on
April 20, the Boston Transportation Department’s ticket amnesty for
healthcare workers will expire. At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic,
BTD announced that healthcare workers could have non-public safety violations dismissed upon appeal if the
ticket was received while working. The intent of the program was to assist
local healthcare workers as they dealt with the public health emergency.
The City of Boston
and its municipal partners in Brookline, Cambridge, Everett, and Somerville
will continue to offer all essential workers in metro Boston a free 90-day
pass for the public bike share system, Bluebikes. More information is
available at boston.gov/bike-share.
“As we continue to
plan our recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, I am grateful to all of our
residents for their cooperation in following our parking enforcement,” said
Mayor Janey. “As warmer weather comes, it’s important that we take the
necessary steps to keep our streets clean.”
“We are grateful
that the City of Boston was able to provide extra support to residents and
healthcare workers during this unprecedented time,” said Commissioner Greg
Rooney. “Residents should be advised that we are beginning to return to
normal operations and they should follow all posted parking
regulations.”
The following
parking regulations remain in effect in the City of Boston:
RESIDENT PARKING AT
METERS
Boston residents
with resident parking permits will continue to be allowed to park at meters
within their neighborhood without having to abide by the time limits or pay
the meter.
DISABILITY PLACARDS
BTD will resume
ticketing for expired disability placards/plates starting on May 31. The Registry of Motor Vehicles is only processing
requests for disability placards/plates by mail.
