Winter Parking Regulations

A winter parking ban is in effect in the Town of Brattleboro during the winter months, typically between select dates in November 15 through April 15. This ban is in effect even if there is no snow on Town streets. When the winter parking ban is in effect: 

• Overnight parking is forbidden on all streets in the town of Brattleboro.
• Vehicles parked for longer than one (1) hour between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. may be ticketed and towed at the owner’s expense.

Brattleboro has a flashing light system and a signboard program in place to assist citizens in knowing when plowing will be done. A flashing AMBER light designates the need to remove snow from off-street parking lots. A flashing PURPLE light designates the need to remove snow from the streets. The Department of Public Works will place sign boards around town notifying the public of pending snow removals. Snow removal starts at 11 p.m.

During snow storms, vehicles must be parked under cover in the Transportation Center. If parking is not available in the Transportation Center, overflow parking is allowed in the Preston Lot. Vehicles must be out of the Preston lot by 8 a.m. to allow for plowing of that lot. Vehicles may be towed at any time if they are hampering snow plowing or snow removal.
