Parking Enforcement

Published April 24, 2025

Newport News Shipbuilding has partnered with David’s Towing to strengthen parking enforcement in company lots and garages. Vehicles in violation of NNS’ parking policy will be towed at the owner’s expense.

All shipbuilders should have a company hangtag (issued by Parking Solutions) with a unique hangtag number that identifies vehicles parked on NNS property.

Frequent Parking Violations that Could Result in Towing

  • Vehicle parked in an NNS lot not displaying an NNS hangtag.
    • Hangtags must be displayed in the front windshield, either by hanging from the rearview mirror or placing it on the dashboard with the number or barcode fully visible.
  • Vehicle parked in handicap space without both DMV and NNS handicap hangtags.
  • Parking in non-designated areas within the company or leased parking lots (e.g. grassy areas that are not spaces, striped-line no parking areas). Or Parking in multiple parking spaces
  • Parking in the wrong zone prior to or after open parking.
    • Open parking is available to all NNS shipbuilders from 1 p.m. until 1 a.m. Monday through Friday and on weekends in all NNS parking spaces outside of the shipyard. During open parking, vehicles must still be in a designated parking space. All vehicles parked in a hangtag-controlled lot must have a visible hangtag displayed, with the hangtag identification number visible.

Open parking does not apply to spaces that are marked 24/7 reserved or spaces designated for Navy, handicap or expectant mother parking. Open parking also does not apply for privately owned lots.
