DPW Offers DC Drivers Booting and Towing Notification Alert Messaging Service

Thursday, September 28, 2017

Washington, DC) – Drivers can now enroll in a new service offered by the DC Department of Public Works (DPW) to receive electronic notifications if their vehicle has been booted, towed, or relocated in the District.

More than 50,000 vehicles are affected by towing and booting services in the District each year. Currently drivers can call the DPW’s towed vehicle locater hotline to determine where to retrieve a towed or relocated vehicle. The new Tow and Boot Alert System will notify enrolled drivers if a boot has been installed on, or removed from, their vehicle, or if it has been towed or relocated by DPW or a company working on its behalf.

“DPW is employing technology in a number of ways to increase the quality of service we deliver,” said DPW Director Christopher Shorter. “Drivers will now receive near instant notifications about the status of their booted or towed vehicle through the new Tow and Boot Alert System.”

Drivers can register their vehicle into the system by visiting www.dpw.dc.gov

DPW provides essential city services in two distinct program areas: environmental services/solid waste management and parking enforcement. Both contribute to making District streets and public spaces clean, safe, attractive and accessible for all residents, businesses, commuters and visitors.
