The Tempe Police Department is committed to maintaining safe and efficient traffic flow on both major thoroughfares and neighborhood streets. A key part of this effort is carried out by our Community Responders, who address parking and traffic-related concerns throughout the city.

Report a Parking Violation
📞 Non-Emergency Dispatch: 480-350-8311

If you observe a parking violation in progress, please call the number above to request service.  

The purpose of our Community Responders is to enforce parking restrictions and prohibitions throughout the City. This allows for better visibility on crowded streets, clear access to private driveways, closer parking for those with disabilities, and clear access for emergency vehicles.

Here is a list of common parking violations. Please refer to the Tempe City Code(TCC) for detailed descriptions.

• Vehicles parked on sidewalks require people to walk around the vehicle onto the street and into a possible hazardous situation. (TCC 19-91)
  
  
• Vehicles parked to close to a stop sign, or fire hydrant can cause a public safety hazard. (TCC 19-91)
  
  
• Vehicles parked in fire lanes make it difficult for emergency vehicles to have easy access when responding to emergency situations. (TCC 19-92)
  
  
• Abandoned, inoperable or unregistered vehicles parked for more than 24 hours take away from the value and the appearance of our neighborhoods. (TCC 19-100)
  
  
• Vehicles parked in handicapped spaces, even for just a few moments, limit access to individuals who are in need of close parking. (TCC 19-93)

The Tempe Police Department greatly appreciates your efforts in keeping our city streets a safe place for our children, residents, and visitors.
