What are Snow Emergency Routes?

Snow emergency routes are specially designated and marked roads in the City, which are the top priority for snow plowing. When the Mayor declares a snow emergency situation, parking on these roads will not be permitted.

What Happens If I Do Not Move My Vehicle?

Vehicles that are not moved by the deadline will be ticketed and towed. They will be taken to an impound lot.  The owner can retrieve the vehicle by paying the towing charge and any additional charges. Contact York City Police at 846-1234 if your car has been towed.

Residents should listen to local radio and television stations or log on to the City’s web site at www.yorkcity.org for the announcement of the removal of the snow emergency. It will also be released to local newspapers.

Mayor Bracey asks for the cooperation of all residents in moving their vehicles so City crews can plow snow in an effective manner. For additional information please contact the Snow Emergency Hotline at 849-2228.
