How do Loading and Standing Zones work?

A loading zone is used for commercial vehicles that are loading and unloading. A standing zone is for customers or employees to use temporarily with flashers while loading or unloading their regular vehicle. Standing and loading zones are paid for by businesses, but note that they are available for any resident to use within the restrictions listed on the signs.

Apply for a Zone

If you are a business in the ward interested in getting a loading or standing zone, there is an application where you will indicate which days of the week and hours you would like the zone to apply. The Chicago Department of Transportation will review all applications. You can email our office at info@aldermanmartin.com to let us know that you’re interested in applying. Please include a description of what restrictions you are looking for, and a summary of why you feel they are beneficial.
