16 DMV locations in Virginia now have reserved parking spaces for Purple Heart recipients.
In honor of Veterans Day, the DMV’s Richmond Customer Service Center held a ceremonial unveiling of the new parking space, while also acknowledging the other 15 that are now available in the commonwealth.
The following locations now have designated parking spaces for Purple Heart recipients:
Richmond Headquarters
Alexandria
Chesterfield
Fairfax Braddock
Fairfax Westfields
Franconia
Hampton
Manassas
Norfolk Military
Norfolk Widgeon
Roanoke
Sterling Free Court
Tysons Corner
Virginia Beach Buckner
Virginia Beach Hilltop
Woodbridge
These locations were selected because of the number of Purple Heart recipients in nearby communities.
“This isn’t just a parking space—it’s a lasting expression of our deep respect for the service members who have worn our nation’s uniform. The DMV is committed to serving every customer with dignity and every time a Purple Heart recipient parks here, we hope they feel the gratitude of all Virginians."
