The Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) Parking Enforcement and Traffic Control (PETC) will resume parking enforcement beginning on Oct. 15. At the instruction of Mayor Eric Garcetti, LADOT has also launched economic relief measures to assist Angelenos in need, including a new early pay program that will reward discounts on citations for early payment.

Parking enforcement will resume for:

• Residential street sweeping

• Expired registration on a vehicle

• Overnight/Oversize parking districts

• Peak/rush hour and gridlock zone parking restrictions

• Ticket/tow for abandoned vehicles (72 hour rule)

• Vehicles displaying recently expired permits within preferential parking districts

LADOT will delay impounding vehicles used for dwellings pending a report back to Council in 30-60 days. Additionally, LADOT will delay the booting and impounding of scofflaw vehicles until Jan. 1, 2021.

Enforcement is ongoing for all the following categories:

• Metered parking

• Time limits within preferential parking districts for vehicles without a valid or recently-expired permit

• Posted time limit zones in residential and commercial areas

• All posted Temporary No-Parking signs

• No blocking emergency access (alleyways, fire hydrants, etc.)

• Colored curb zones

• Parking restrictions for City-owned lots

The City of Los Angeles offers several programs to assist low-income individuals and individuals experiencing homelessness with outstanding parking citation debt as well as relief programs to allow for citation amnesty.

At the mayor’s directive, an additional program scheduled to begin Nov. 2,  will allow motorists an early payment discount. The Early Pay LA program will award a $20 discount for citations paid within 48 hours. More information about LADOT’s response and existing programs to provide economic relief is available at ladot.lacity.org/coronavirus.
