Things to Know
City parking ambassadors strive to ensure that free parking is readily available for everyone and not monopolized, that handicapped parking is accessible and never blocked or misused, and that the City of Pensacola is safe and welcoming to all visitors all the time, through the enforcement of parking laws and ordinances put into place by local, state and national government. When you have a question or need assistance, they are ready and willing to help!
Most residents are familiar with City of Pensacola Parking Management through parking in downtown Pensacola, but City Parking Ambassadors manage much more than just timed parking in the downtown area. Parking Ambassadors monitor and respond to citizen complaints throughout the city, including city parks and residential areas.
Residents are reminded to follow all parking laws and ordinances, including:
- When parking on the street, park with the flow of traffic.
- Do not park blocking driveways, stop signs, mailboxes, railroad crossings, or intersections.
- Do not park on sidewalks.
- Do not park on the grass in city parks, or in any restricted areas.
- Do not park commercial vehicles or recreational equipment on the street or right of way.
