Austin Launches Volunteer Program for Accessible Parking Enforcement

The city's new initiative aims to improve accessible parking availability through volunteer enforcement and education.

Austin's Transportation and Public Works Department, in partnership with APD, introduces a volunteer program to enforce accessible parking regulations.
Volunteers will receive training to issue citations and warnings to vehicles illegally parked in accessible spaces.
The program seeks to educate the community and ensure accessible parking is available for those who need it.
Training for volunteers includes online and field sessions over two days.
The initiative is part of a broader effort to enhance civic engagement and accessibility in the city.
