- 219 locations checked (some locations had multiple vehicles at each location)
- 101 vehicles gone upon arrival

- 34 vehicles tagged to be moved within 72 hours
- 13 complaints unfounded

Abandoned vehicles contribute to blight and are the subject of concern for many members of our community. The VPD Traffic Division conducts daily checks of abandoned vehicles throughout the city and periodically conducts large-scale abatement operations.
