The City of Boston is in Step 1 of Phase 3 of the state's COVID-19 reopening plan. We continue to update City-specific guidance on our reopening website.

We are moving forward with a phased-in plan to start the school year, with all students starting fully remote on September 21. The first students will not return to school until at least October 1.

City Hall is only open to the public on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. If you need to visit City Hall, you must make an appointment.

Testing is free, regardless of insurance or immigration status. Please call ahead before visiting a location.

We're providing free breakfast and lunch, Monday through Friday, across the City.

There is no residential trash and recycling pickup during the weekend.

Street cleaning is on a normal schedule. At this time, we are ticketing but not towing for street sweeping.

Residents with a valid resident parking permit sticker can park in a metered or two-hour parking space in their neighborhood without having to adhere to the time limit, or pay a meter fee.

Boston Centers for Youth and Families community centers are offering a limited menu of programs and classes for pre-registered participants.

The tow lot is open Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. - 11 p.m. Automated kiosks are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week for vehicle releases.
