Permit Parking

Enact permit parking to limit the number of users who may park in particular locations, typically in residential areas.

 

Program permit parking to limit who may park in certain areas with limited parking supply. These approaches are typically designed to target workers, neighborhood residents, or regular users of a certain attraction or use.

  • Create a permit parking program to address spillover issues, where areas of high parking demand may spill into nearby residential areas.
  • Design the permit program to be either free or paid by permit holders, depending on the purpose to be achieved by permit parking.
  • Issue permits annually, monthly, or for special occasions depending on the purpose.
