The Winter Parking Ban is in effect from December 1 until April 1 between the hours of 1:00 A.M. and 6:00 A.M. No vehicle may be parked on any city street during this time frame. For residents/guests without adequate off-street parking, Winter Parking Permits for all City-owned lots are available at no charge. A Resident or Winter Parking Permit is required in all City lots during the Winter Parking Ban.
The Traffic Bureau is responsible for the management of parking and traffic related issues for the police department. Additionally, the Traffic Bureau is involved in traffic engineering projects, accident investigation analysis and coordinates the School Crossing Guard program.
Overview
The mission statement of the Dover Police Department Parking Bureau is to promote the safe and orderly flow of vehicle traffic by supervising all municipal parking lots and public parking areas, and by enforcing all appropriate parking related laws and ordinances.
The Parking Bureau is responsible for maintenance of all city parking meters and is responsible for collection of all permit, meter, and fine revenue for deposit into a special City account.
The Parking Bureau is supervised by a full time sworn police officer who is responsible for the overall administration of the bureau’s function and who also serves as the designated Hearings Officer for parking ticket appeals. A full time Parking Clerk (35 hrs/wk) collects and accounts for revenue, supervises the issuance of parking permits, and handles most administrative duties associated with collection. A full time civilian Parking Enforcement Officer (35 hours per week) responds to parking-related calls for service throughout the City, performs maintenance on all city-owned parking meters, and distributes equipment as necessary for temporary parking and traffic restrictions. Three part-time Parking Enforcement Officers (20 hrs/wk) conduct foot patrol in the Dover downtown area on weekdays and early evenings to ensure the appropriate turnover of timed (two hour and thirty minute) parking zones, which is key to the viability of Dover’s various retail merchants and restaurants.
Any questions on parking issues or parking permits may be directed to the Parking Bureau at 603-516-6132 Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:30 A.M. and 4:00 P.M.
