The Safety Division provides Transportation Enforcement Services to Baltimore City residents, businesses, and visitors to ensure safe traffic flow and curbside parking.
Parking Enforcement
The Parking Enforcement team has officers who patrol the city, making sure everyone follows the parking rules.
Point Traffic Control
Transportation Enforcement Officers help control traffic at busy intersections downtown.
Repeated Violations
Transportation Enforcement Officers look for cars that have three or more unpaid parking tickets that are over 30 days old. They use special tools to find these cars and put boots on them to stop the cars from moving until the tickets are paid.
Abandoned Vehicles
Officers patrol different parts of the city to find abandoned cars or cars that have been parked in one spot for more than 48 hours. They mark the cars with chalk and put an orange sticker on cars without tags or that are broken. If the car stays in the same spot for more than 48 hours, it gets a ticket and is towed.
Crossing Guards
Crossing Guards are at intersections where more than 30 kids cross the street to go to school. They help keep the kids safe while they walk.
