SFMTA Parking Enforcement Update – Tow Policy memorandum to board (October 2021)

This memorandum serves as a follow-up to the May 4, 2021 SFMTA Board of Directors presentation, outlining the plan to resume parking enforcement for vehicles with expired registered over six months, parking over 72 hours, and five or more overdue citations, in addition to proposals to expand fee discount and waiver programs to provide relief for people with low incomes and experiencing homelessness. In addition to providing an update on enforcement activities, the following specific requests for follow-up from Board Members are addressed:

  1. What efforts are made to provide alternatives to towing vehicles?
  2. How do we distinguish inhabited vehicles from others that are towed?
  3. What is the fiscal impact of expanding citation waivers to 200% of poverty level?
  4. How can we improve enrollment in discount and waiver programs?
  5. Has the Office of Racial Equity & Inclusion evaluated towing policies?
