On Monday, November 19, Mayor Jane Hughson proclaimed December 2018 Parking Mobility Month.

Council members Lisa Prewitt and Melissa Derrick as well as San Marcos Chief of Police Chase Stapp and members of the community joined Mayor Hughson for the proclamation to raise awareness of the importance of accessible parking spaces.

San Marcos recently partnered with Parking Mobility to help ensure the community is safe and accessible for all.

Parking Mobility is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit community education and enforcement program designed to efficiently address accessible parking abuse in the community. The parking mobility program was designed to engage citizens in the process of enforcing disabled parking space violations within the City of San Marcos.

On November 9, the first class of volunteers in the San Marcos Parking Mobility Program were sworn in by the San Marcos Police Department.

Under the program, trained volunteers report vehicles illegally parked in handicap accessible parking spaces using the Parking Mobility App.

The reports will be reviewed by the San Marcos Police Department, and a citation will be issued to the owner of the vehicle if it is determined that an offense has been committed.
