  • Public projects (sidewalks, transit stops, curb ramps) follow accessibility standards during design and construction; check project notices for specifics.

Penalties & Enforcement

Enforcement for transit fare violations, bike-lane obstructions, right-of-way infractions, and failures to provide required accessibility features is undertaken by the City Transportation Division, Code Compliance, and other municipal enforcement offices depending on the subject and location. The municipal code and departmental pages outline enforcement authority and procedures[2].

If a specific fine or timeline is required, request the exact code section from Code Compliance or the City Attorney.
