RESIDENTIAL PERMIT PARKING (RPP) PROGRAM
The Residential Permit Parking (RPP) Program began in 1974 to reduce the impact of non-residents parking on neighborhood streets in areas near certain public facilities and land uses (such as Metrorail stations). Parking by too many non-residents can restrict resident access to on-street parking, increase air and noise pollution, and create unsafe traffic conditions. The program is not designed to resolve on-street parking issues created by adjacent or neighboring residential properties. The RPP program is governed by Executive Regulation 13-23

The Residential Parking Permit (RPP) Program began in 1974 to reduce the impact of non-residents parking on neighborhood streets in areas near certain public facilities and land uses (such as Metrorail stations). Parking by too many non-residents can restrict resident access to on-street parking, increase air and noise pollution, and create unsafe traffic conditions. The program is not designed to resolve on-street parking issues created by adjacent or neighboring residential properties. The RPP program is governed by Executive Regulation 13-23.
Once the boundaries of an RPPA are approved, residents within those RPPAs are eligible to petition for permit parking restrictions on a block-by-block basis. Establishment of an RPPA does not mean that permit parking restrictions will be imposed throughout the RPPA. Residents will not be required to purchase permits.
Permit parking is installed on a block-by-block basis along those blocks that want permit parking restrictions. A block consists of address numbers (i.e. 1400, 1500, 1600 block) and in general is defined by intersecting cross streets. It is possible for a street to consist of multiple blocks. In these instances, a separate petition is required for each block indicating concurrence from at least two-thirds of the adjacent households on that/those blocks (one signature per household). For more information about the installation of residential permit parking restrictions please see Section 7 of Executive Regulation 13-23.
A participant block consists of both sides of a street within the boundaries of a residential permit parking area on which permit parking restrictions are in effect. Residents of a participant block are entitled to purchase permits at an annual cost of $20 per registered vehicle. More information about parking permits can be found in Section 8 of Executive Regulation 13-23.
An eligible block lies within the boundaries of an established RPPA, that does not yet have residential permit parking restrictions.
The RPP Program is a voluntary program and permit parking restrictions are only installed if residents of a block request them. Even on blocks that have permit parking restrictions, residents may forgo the purchase of permits if they believe them unnecessary, i.e. residents have adequate parking on their property or are rarely home during the restricted hours. However, any vehicle parked on-street without a permit during restricted hours is subject to ticketing.
Residents of a Participant Block may request a petition from MCDOT by sending a written request to [email protected]. This written request should indicate a specific street name and the two streets that intersect on either side of the block. Each request should include a brief description of the parking problems being experienced along the block and indicate a specific permit parking restriction to be installed. For a permit parking restriction to be installed on a block, at least two-thirds of the households on that block must sign “in favor” of the restriction. Sample RPP Petition.
Under the RPP Program, standard permit parking restrictions apply from 9 a.m. to 5p.m., Monday through Friday. However, Montgomery County Department of Transportation will consider expanding restricted parking times or days on a case-by-case basis, depending on the specific problems encountered in a community.
The Residential Permit Parking Program does not guarantee permit holders an on-street parking space but does provide residents better access to on-street parking near their home.

Información sobre permisos para terrazas de Quebec PDF El Programa de permisos de estacionamiento en zonas residenciales (RPP) comenzó en el año 1974 para disminuir el impacto que las personas no residentes del área provocaban al estacionarse en las calles de la comunidad cerca de algunas instalaciones públicas y terrenos (como las estaciones de Metro). El estacionamiento de demasiadas personas que no resident en una zona específica puede restringir el acceso de los residentes al estacionamiento en la calle, aumentar el ruido, la contaminación y crear condiciones de tráfico peligrosas. El programa no está diseñado para resolver los problemas de estacionamiento en la calle creados por las propiedades residenciales adyacentes o vecinas. El programa de RPP se rige por el Reglamento Ejecutivo 13-23.
Una vez que se haya aprobado los límites de un RPPA (Área de permiso de estacionamiento residencial), los residentes dentro de esas RPPA son elegibles para presentar una petición de restricciones de estacionamiento con permiso por cuadras. El establecimiento de un RPPA no significa que se impondrán restricciones de estacionamiento solo con permiso a través del RPPA. Los residentes no tendrán la obligación de comprar permisos.
Los estacionamientos con permiso se instalan cuadra por cuadra a lo largo de aquellas cuadras que desean restricciones de estacionamiento con permiso. Una cuadra consiste de números de direcciones (por ejemplo, la cuadra 1400, 1500, 1600) y en general está definida por calles que se intersectan. Es posible que una calle se componga de múltiples cuadras. En estos casos, se requiere una petición diferente por cada cuadra, indicando la aceptación de al menos dos tercios de las viviendas adyacentes en esa/esas cuadras (una firma por vivienda). Para más información sobre la instalación de las restricciones de estacionamiento residencial con permiso, por favor consulte la Sección 7 de la Norma Ejecutiva 13-23.
Una cuadra participante consiste en ambos lados de la calle que se encuentran dentro de los límites de una zona residencial en donde las restricciones de estacionamiento con permiso se encuentran en efecto. Los residentes de cuadra participante tienen derecho a comprar permisos a un costo anual de $20 por cada vehículo registrado. Puede obtener más información sobre los permisos de estacionamiento en la Sección 8 del Reglamento Ejecutivo 13-23.
Una cuadra elegible es una que se encuentra dentro de los límites de las zonas de estacionamiento con permiso en zonas residenciales (RRPA) y que todavía no tiene restricciones de estacionamiento con permiso en zonas residenciales.
El Programa de RPP (Permiso de estacionamiento residencial) es un programa voluntario y las restricciones de estacionamiento con permiso solo se instalan si los residentes de una cuadra las solicitan. Incluso en las cuadras que cuentan con restricciones de estacionamiento con permiso, los residentes pueden renunciar a la compra de permisos si consideran que no son necesarios, por ejemplo, si los residentes poseen un espacio adecuado de estacionamiento en su propiedad o rara vez se encuentran en sus casas durante las horas de restricción. Sin embargo, cualquier vehículo estacionado en la calle sin un permiso durante las horas de restricción recibirá una multa.
Los Residentes de una Cuadra Participante pueden solicitar una petición al Departamento de Transporte del Condado de Montgomery (MCDOT) enviando una solicitud escrita a [email protected]. Esta solicitud escrita debe indicar el nombre específico de una calle y las dos calles que se intersectan a cada lado de la cuadra. Cada solicitud debe incluir una breve descripción de los problemas de estacionamiento que hay en la cuadra e indicar una restricción específica de estacionamiento con permiso a instalar. Para que se pueda instalar una restricción de estacionamiento con permiso en una cuadra, al menos dos tercios de las viviendas en esa cuadra deben firmar “a favor” de la restricción. Muestra de la petición de RPP.
Conforme a RPP, las restricciones básicas de estacionamiento con permiso se aplican de lunes a viernes de 9:00 a.m. a 5:00 p.m. Sin embargo, el Departamento de Transporte del Condado de Montgomery considerará ampliar los días u horarios de estacionamiento restringido dependiendo del caso y de los problemas específicos en la comunidad.
El Programa de estacionamiento con permiso en zonas residenciales no les garantiza a las personas que tienen el permiso un espacio de estacionamiento en la calle, pero les proporciona mejor acceso para estacionarse en la calle cerca de su casa
