Association information
The Department of Public Works (DPW) provides municipal 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. DPW's Solid Waste Management Administration performs a number of daily operations including trash and recycling collection, sanitation education and enforcement, graffiti removal, public littercan service, fall leaf collection, and street and alley cleaning. DPW's Parking Services Administration is responsible for enforcing the District's on-street parking laws. Approximately 200 parking officers monitor 17,000 meters and 3,500 blocks of residential zoned parking. In addition to routine enforcement, the Parking Services Administration is charged with booting and towing operations and with removing abandoned vehicles from public and private property. Behind the scenes, DPW's Fleet Management Administration supports municipal operations by procuring, fueling and maintaining thousands of District government vehicles, from sedans to heavy equipment. Fleet Management is also responsible for purchasing environmentally friendly, alternative-fuel vehicles (AFV) for the city. DC leads the region with over 250 AFVs in its fleet. The Department's Energy Office works with residents and businesses to help alleviate the high cost of energy, year-round, by offering conservation tips and workshops, as well as financial assistance with energy bills. William O. Howland is the Director of the Department of Public Works.
