It is the mission of the Traffic and Parking Department to provide the City of Quincy with a safe and effective transportation network while recognizing the availability of limited resources. The Department of Traffic and Parking is responsible for design, installation, and operation of all public parking facilities as well as traffic signs, signals, and pavement markings. The Director, Jack Gillon, also reviews major development proposals to ensure any traffic impacts are mitigated before additional traffic volumes are added to the City's existing roadwork network. Pedestrian and bicycle operations are also evaluated along with MBTA bus operations.

The department's electrical engineer provides essential support services such as determining proper design of street lighting and lighting of public areas including ball fields and parking facilities. He also evaluates new equipment such as light emitting diode technology and solar panels that may reduce energy costs to the City. The department Parking Operations Manager oversees the Ross and Hancock Parking areas as well as both on-street and off-street parking enforcement with the City's Parking Control Officers.
