The Los Angeles Department of Transportation began targeted enforcement of bus-only lanes throughout the city this week.

Parking enforcement officers will ensure that buses can utilize the bus-only lanes while avoiding parked or idling cars, and delivery vehicles.

The department is reminding motorists that it is illegal to park or stop in bus-only lanes during posted times. Through March 18, officers will issue written warnings. Afterwards, all violators will be cited and vehicles may be towed. For information, visit ladot.lacity.org.
