ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Residential parking zones have been established in congested neighborhoods to give residents a better chance to park closer to their homes.

 

Residential parking permits will be plate-based, or digital, meaning that a vehicle’s license plate serves as the permit. Decals, placards or hang tags are not necessary.

 

Residents who live in a residential parking zone must register with the City to participate in the program. The fee is $25. This fee is waived for the first year of enrollment in the program. In the near future, the CPA website will include an RPP portal that will provide the City's residents with an online tool for creating household accounts, purchasing permits and managing their accounts.
