Drivers of D.C., be warned: The pandemic-induced reprieve in parking enforcement will be over one day soon.

D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser announced Thursday that some of the parking enforcement that has been suspended during the ongoing public health emergency will resume in the coming weeks — starting with parking enforcement round school zones.

Beginning March 15, cars parked by no-parking signs in school zones will start getting warning tickets. The following week, on March 22, the city will start issuing $25 tickets to cars violating parking rules in school zones.

Bowser says she has asked the city’s Department of Public Works to focus on these few areas of enforcement to begin with, but she said that residents “should expect as we have more activity in the city, full parking enforcement will resume at some point.”

Here’s who’s currently being ticketed for parking violations in the District:

• Non-commercial vehicles parked in commercial loading zones
• Large vehicles parked illegally next to parks, churches, schools, and residential domiciles
• Illegal parking in or near bike lanes, crosswalks, fire hydrants, and other illegal parking that presents a safety violation (other examples include blocking bus stops or handicap parking spaces)
• Parking in no-parking areas in school zones (tickets will start being issued on March 22)

D.C.’s possible revenue from parking tickets fell by half in 2020, as people stayed at home more and the city loosened its enforcement of parking violations. The city’s possible revenue from parking tickets last year was $62 million, compared with $122 million in 2019.

Tickets for moving violations, fell too. City Administrator Kevin Donahue told the D.C. Council earlier this year that to address budget concerns the city would have to “turn back on some of the revenue collection” — though he recognized that the city would likely have to institute some forgiveness measures because of the economic devastation the pandemic brought to many individuals.

But for now, several other areas of parking enforcement remain suspended. Drivers are not currently getting tickets for emergency no-parking violations, expired license plates and inspection stickers, expired residential parking permits, and expired meters. The city is also not currently booting and towing vehicles for these violations.

Bowser said residents can expect these suspended areas of parking enforcement to resume in the near future. But, she said, ticketing for expired license plates and inspection stickers will likely start much later. (This is probably due to backlogs at the Department of Motor Vehicles.)

The announcement about increased parking enforcement comes as Bowser says she will be making decisions about reopening and resuming certain city activities and lifting certain pandemic restrictions. Announcements about the lifting of certain pandemic restrictions could come as soon as Monday, she said.
