In addition to citations, the Palm Springs Police Department stated that vehicles parked illegally in disabled parking spaces may be subject to towing. This action will be carried out where legally permissible, according to departmental protocols. The aim of this stepped-up enforcement is to ensure accessible parking is available for individuals with disabilities.
