Booting, Towing To Restart In Somerville
After suspending operations for more than a year, the city will start booting and towing vehicles with multiple unpaid parking tickets.
SOMERVILLE, MA — The city will resume booting and towing vehicles with five or more overdue, unpaid parking tickets on Monday, May 3. These operations were suspended last year at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
If a vehicle is booted, all unpaid parking tickets must be paid in full within 48 hours to have it released, otherwise the vehicle will be towed.
While the Parking Department office remains closed to the public, payments can be made online at somervillema.gov/parking, over the phone (call 1-844-807-9069) or by placing a certified bank check made out to "City of Somerville" in the secure drop box outside the parking office at 133 Holland Street.
