City Seeks Volunteers to Help Enforcement of Handicapped Parking

The City of Asheville is looking for people to assist with the Volunteer Handicapped Parking Enforcement Program.


Interested and qualified persons will be responsible for assisting in enforcement against illegal parking in handicapped spaces in Asheville.

This program is administered by the City’s Parking Services Division. Training will be provided by the Asheville Police Department.

To be eligible, volunteers for this program must live within Buncombe County or any county it borders. Volunteers must also successfully complete a training program and pass a background check..

Training will include instruction on pertinent laws and ordinances; identification of appropriate handicapped placards and plates; how to write citations, and other administrative responsibilities.

Successful volunteers will then be able to assist city officials in enforcing the proper use of parking spaces designated for handicapped users.

For more information or to request an application, contact City of Asheville Parking Services at 828-259-5759.
