Free Access to County Facilities for Veterans with Special License Plates

In honor of veterans, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors has voted to waive parking fees for veterans at County-operated parking lots, beaches and parks. Today’s vote exempts vehicles with valid veterans special license plates from the payment of parking fees at all County-owned and operated public parking lots, including vehicle entry fees at County parks, beaches and County-enforced parking meters.

Valid veterans’ license plates include Congressional Medal of Honor, Legion of Valor, Purple Heart, Prisoners of War, Survivors of Pearl Harbor, and Disabled Veterans. The fee waiver will not be valid on weekends and holidays, other than Veterans Day.

“Through this effort the County is expressing its gratitude and appreciation for the distinguished service of our veterans,” said Supervisor Don Knabe. “We owe them many freedoms that we have today and they truly deserve the honor and respect of their fellow Americans.”
