Residential Parking Permit (RPP) Programs

What is it?

■ Permitted vehicles exempted from on-street parking restrictions

■ Permit ownership does not guarantee availability of a space or any specific space

Why Implement it?

■ Ensure residential streets not overwhelmed by non-residents

■ Manage commuter and spillover parking

■ Revenue for improvements

Principles of RPP

■ Ensure that RPP Program has community support.

■ Do not issue an unlimited number of permits (e.g., residents with garage/driveway space may have limited permits)

■ Prioritize public parking access during peak visiting hours.

■ Prioritize parking for residents and their guests during problem times (can be tailored to the neighborhood needs).

■ Incorporate clear signage and user-friendly technology.

■ Use any surplus revenues to fund additional parking or mobility improvement.

■ Ensure that RPP program has adequate staffing for ongoing management and enforcement.

Residential Permit Program Support

Respondents were asked…

Under such a program:a) Permits will be required to be

displayed on your vehicle at all times when parked on the roadway.

b) Guests would also be required to display permits if parked on the roadway.

c) There may be an administrative and/or market-based charge for all permits.

d) There may be a limit in the supply of permits.

e) There may be multiple RPP zones in one neighborhood.

f) Holding a residential permit gives one permission to park in a designated RPP zone but does not guarantee or reserve a parking space, and

g) This and other details of program operation and hours of enforcement would be finalized by the City with input from community stakeholders.

■ Would you support a residential permit program (RPP) for the Pines neighborhood?

• Yes: 59%

• No: 36%

• No response: 5%

Lack of Residential Permit Program Support

■ Survey respondents who indicated no issue with parking had lower relative support for RPP.

– 23% indicated no issues during the weekday.

• Of these, 38% support RPP.

– 24% indicated no issues during the weekend.

• Of these, 46% support RPP.

– Overall, 28% indicated no issues at all.

• Of these, 47% support RPP.

Summary of Findings (1st Survey)

■ 976 surveys mailed to entire Pines neighborhood, of which about 25% responded.

■ On-street parking difficulties were concentrated from 4-10 PM on weekdays and weekends, but there were no time periods in which a majority of respondents expressed difficulty.

■ There are an average of 2.9 licensed drivers and 3.3 vehicles per households.

■ 15% of the 976 households, or 146 respondents supported an RPP program as described in the survey.

■ Due to a low survey response, support for a parking permit program is inconclusive. A follow-up in-person survey will be conducted in the northeast area of Pines, “Focus Area”, nearest apartments to further assess on-parking conditions.
