Handicap Parking Patrol Program, Parking Enforcement
The primary purpose of Longmont’s volunteer Handicap Parking Patrol is to educate the public about handicap parking laws and to ensure that handicap parking spaces are available for our disabled residents and visitors when they need them.As part of this educational process, volunteers occasionally issue citations for violating the handicap parking laws.
Handicap Parking Volunteers patrol in teams of two for two to four hours one day per week. Volunteers provide their own transportation and receive reimbursement for mileage and a magnetic Handicap Parking Patrol sign to affix to their vehicle while on duty.
In addition, volunteers receive thorough training on applicable laws, how to educate the public on those laws, and how to issue citations. New volunteers are matched with an experienced volunteer for extensive on-the-job training.
Our volunteers find this to be one of the most rewarding things they ever have done, and most have been with the patrol for more than five years.
