16-49   IDENTIFYING JACKETS FOR VALET PARKERS.
16-49.1   Purpose.
   The Boston Transportation Department has established different parking regulations to divide the city’s limited parking among residential and commercial uses. Regulations on parking include the use of meters and the issuance of permits, such as the residential parking permit and valet parking permit. The Boston Transportation Department’s Traffic Rules and Regulations govern valet parking operations and the issuance of valet parking permits, and Article IVA, Section 2 of these regulations require valet parking personnel to use only designated valet parking zones for the discharge and receiving of passengers while Article IVA, Section 7.2 prohibits valet parking of a car in any space that is not in an approved off-street parking facility. These regulations seek to ensure that valet parking personnel do not park cars in spaces that would otherwise be available to visitors and residents in a neighborhood. City personnel face difficulty enforcing these provisions, however, because valet parking personnel are not easily distinguished from the public. Valet parking personnel are able to evade the restrictions and park illegally at meters, in resident parking spaces and other inappropriate locations. Enhancing the means of enforcing these parking regulations will help ensure the proper use of on-street parking as delineated in the regulations of the Boston Transportation Department. If able to distinguish between valet parking personnel and the general public, the city personnel enforcing parking restrictions and Valet Parking Permits could more easily identify violations of these regulations.
