The 2022 LA County Curb Management Strategy prioritizes pickup and dropoff over parking and loading in commercial corridors. DPW retrofits curb zones using a tiered hierarchy with TNC (Uber, Lyft) zones, accessible loading, and parking allocations in unincorporated business districts.
LA County Public Works adopted the Curb Management Strategy in 2022 to reallocate curb space in unincorporated commercial corridors based on demand. The hierarchy ranks pickup and dropoff (passenger and rideshare) and active loading (delivery and freight) above general parking, then prioritizes parking only after high-demand uses are accommodated. Pilot rollouts in Marina del Rey, East LA's Atlantic Blvd, and Walnut Park designate red TNC zones, white passenger pickup zones, yellow loading zones, and blue ADA spaces with QR-coded signage and time-of-day rules. The strategy aligns with OurCounty Sustainability and Vision Zero pedestrian-safety goals, reducing double-parking and pedestrian conflicts. Updates roll out as DPW completes corridor design studies.
Parking in a TNC pickup or active loading zone outside permitted use draws citations starting at $73 plus state surcharges. Repeat violators face tow risk. Commercial vehicles loading outside designated yellow zones receive $98 citations under Title 17.
