The mission of the Traffic Safety Section is to help ensure and promote the safe travel of all community members throughout the City.  The Traffic Safety Section (TSS) is comprised of officers whose primary focus is traffic enforcement, education, crash investigation, escorts, and responding to major traffic emergencies.  This section is also responsible for the implementation of the Traffic Safety Plan; which is the guiding document for the City of Alexandria's Vision Zero Action Plan.  

For more information please see our Traffic Safety Plan.  Other reports are available online, including:

• Traffic Crash Analysis for 2017,  2018 and 2019.  
• Traffic Citation and Warning Analysis for 2018 and 2019.

• What Should I Do After a Crash?
• Traffic Enforcement Request 
• Obtaining a Copy of Your Traffic Crash Report
• Escort Requests

The Traffic Safety Section also houses the Parking Enforcement Unit.  This unit is responsible for enforcing the City's parking regulations.  The City's Treasury Division is responsible for processing the payment of any citation, and the Office of Parking Adjudication conducts administrative reviews to determine whether a parking citation was validly issued under the applicable rules and ordinances, not the Police Department.  

For information on where to park, permits, restrictions, meters, garages, and citations please visit the City's Parking Information Page.
