Accessible Parking Locations

An official placard noting your eligibility for accessible parking may be used in any parking space so designated. Other parking ordinances may be in effect. All designated parking rules should be obeyed. Massachusetts law allows vehicles with proper authority to disregard most—but not all—public meter fees. Note, however, that the Massachusetts Port Authority does not exempt meter fees for accessible parking. Please obey all posted signs. Due to street cleaning, public events, snow emergencies, or construction, availability and accessibility status of any given space is subject to change without notice.
