Starting Feb. 28, the D.C. Department of Public Works will begin issuing tickets to any driver seen improperly parking, stopping or leaving a bike lane.

The $150 ticket is the latest development in the city’s bike lane enforcement program and Mayor Muriel Bowser’s plan to cut the number of pedestrian and bicyclist injuries in the District to zero by 2024.

In November, Bowser announced that the city would increase the number of parking enforcement officers to monitor and “enhance bike lane safety.” Since then, DPW has added 26 new parking enforcement officers and started mailing written citations labeled “warning” to motorists caught obstructing the bike lane.

In a statement, DPW Director Chris Geldart said that ticketing drivers for obstructing bike lanes is the next step in combating the ongoing issue of bicyclist and pedestrian safety in D.C.

“As we enter into the next stage of our bike lane enforcement program, the issuance of tickets will incentivize motorists to help keep lanes clear of obstructions so that bikers can safely share the road with vehicles,” Geldart said.

In 2019, 12 pedestrians and two cyclists were killed on D.C. streets, according to the District Department of Transportation’s website.
