The City of Sacramento, like other California cities,
has been experiencing an accelerated use of disabled
parking placards on City streets. To help reduce
the misuse of disabled placards, City of Sacramento
Parking Enforcement Division requested the City Council
authorization to issue misdemeanor citations for
misuse of disabled placards.
How Does the Disabled Parking
Abuse Program Work?
The California Vehicle Code provides special parking
privileges for persons with disabilities. Vehicles
that display the proper disabled placard or license
plates are allowed to park for unlimited periods.
1
1 Adjacent to a blue curb, green curb, a zone displaying
the international symbol of access (wheelchair symbol),
at an on-street parking meter at no charge, and in
any residential permit parking area. 2
2 Parking not permitted in any red zone, white zone
(passenger loading and unloading) and yellow zone
(commercial loading zone).
To help reduce the misuse of disabled placards,
the Sacramento Task Force On Placard Abuse was formed
on November 12, 1996.
The purpose of the Sacramento Task Force is to reduce
the abuse of Disable placards and to make available
parking spaces for both the disabled and downtown
shoppers.
The Sacramento Task Force consists of Parking Enforcement
Officers trained specifically to investigate complaints
on disabled placard abuse and to issue misdemeanor
citations of the California Vehicle Code when necessary.
