Pine AI covers all San Francisco parking citations | Updated May 2026
San Francisco's parking enforcement is among the most active in California. The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) issues citations across the entire city — tow-away zones, Muni bus lanes, street cleaning, meters, and permit districts. Most drivers pay without checking whether the ticket is disputable. Some of them shouldn't.
Under California Vehicle Code Section 40215, every driver has the right to request an initial administrative review, and if that's denied, a formal hearing. You have 21 days from the citation date to act.
