The city of New Orleans announced effective today, that it will increase parking enforcement back to pre-pandemic levels.
Here is the breakdown of parking enforcement effective immediately:
Parking Enforcement (Ticket Writing and Towing) is returning to a normal rate of patrol, expanding from the centralized downtown area:
- Enforcement hours for Ticket Writing’s field staff: 7 a.m.-10 p.m., Monday-Saturday; 7 a.m. -7 p.m., Sunday. This change will allow full field coverage and improve the response time to all requests for enforcement.
- Enforcement hours for Towing remains 24/7.
- Areas of enforcement will be extended citywide to ensure that the City is providing fair and consistent parking enforcement throughout the city.
- Uniformed enforcement of parking regulations will be reinstated to ensure curb turnover in high-traffic areas where enforcement is required to regulate Freight/Loading Zones, Cab Stands/Bus Zones and Passenger Zones.
Booting to return to normal enforcement:
- Areas of enforcement will be extended citywide to ensure that the City is providing consistent delinquent collections for parking/traffic camera fines and fees throughout the city. Booting enforcement will also encourage compliance with the City’s parking laws and promote curb turnover.
- Operating hours: 8 a.m.- 6 p.m. – Booting enforcement and assisted releases. 8 a.m.- 10 p.m. – Lot attendant on duty to accept self-released boots. 24/7 – Self-release, online payments, and telephone customer service
