The City requires a Transportation Permit for all overloads on certain public streets and public property within the city by any vehicle. Doing so prevents damage to street foundations, surfaces, protects bridges and other public/private property from damage or injury resulting from moving an overload upon a public street or place. For more information, please visit the Transportation Permits for Overloads Webpage.
Parking Enforcement Services are provided by LAZ Parking.
Parking enforcement requests from the public are best managed through Salinas Connect or by contacting the City by phone at (510) 250-2052. To submit an online request for parking enforcement via Salinas Connect please click on the following link:

The City of Salinas has adopted a Neighborhood Traffic Management Program (NTMP) to address and resolve Salinas neighborhood traffic concerns. These new tools and their appropriate applications provide a response to the negative effects of speeding and traffic volumes on Salinas neighborhood streets. The Institute of Transportation Engineers defines "traffic calming" as "the combination of mainly physical measures that reduce the negative effects of motor vehicle use, alter driver behavior, and improve conditions for non-motorized street users."
