The SFMTA has transitioned RPP time limit enforcement to License Plate Recognition (LPR). With LPR technology, enforcement vehicles read license plate numbers as they drive through neighborhoods, checking in real time if vehicles have a permit. Any vehicle without a permit is flagged by the LPR system. A Parking Control Officer will verify that a vehicle has violated the parking rules before issuing a citation.
Parking Permitted
SFMTA policies regarding the use of LPR technology for parking enforcement is in full compliance with state and local laws on the use of surveillance technology. All images obtained through the LPR system, with the exception of those associated with a violation, are automatically purged after seven days. Images associated with a violation will be purged after 365 days. Access to images will be limited to authorized vendor support staff and SFMTA employees for the purpose of citation processing, payment and review.
You may display only one RPP zone sticker at a time. You must remove all outdated or expired RPP stickers from your vehicle windshield. If you display more than one sticker, you could receive a parking ticket.

All of New York City is a designated Tow Away Zone under the State's Vehicle and Traffic Law. This means that any vehicle parked or operated illegally, or with missing or expired registration or inspection stickers, may be towed. On major legal holidays stopping, standing and parking are permitted except in areas where stopping, standing and parking rules are in effect seven days a week (for example, "No Standing Anytime").
Double parking of passenger vehicles is illegal at all times, including when street cleaning is occurring, regardless of location, purpose or duration. An occupied illegally parked vehicle causes the same safety hazard and congestion as an unoccupied vehicle.
Many streets in New York have alternate side regulations, which allow for street cleaning. The alternate side parking calendar lists the legal and religious holidays with scheduled alternate side parking suspensions.Learn more about alternate side parking rulesDownload the alternate side parking calendar (pdf)

Parking is allowed in school zones when school is in recess. However, motorists should be aware that specific schools may be open on holidays and during summer vacations, and parking restrictions would remain in effect. If schools have summer sessions or are open for teacher meetings or similar activities, even if students are not attending, the parking regulations apply on such days. Individuals should contact specific schools to verify that they are in recess. Go to 311 Online to locate an individual school.
The NY State Vehicle and Traffic Law defines the permanent disabilities that qualify. If you have a permanent disability that qualifies, you can get vehicle plates for reserved parking from the DMV or a parking permit from your local government. It is illegal to park in a parking space reserved for persons with disabilities if you do not have the correct vehicle plates or parking permit. You can use the vehicle plates or parking permit in New York State and in most other states.
You and your healthcare provider can complete the Application for a Parking Permit or License Plates, for Persons with Severe Disabilities (PDF) (MV-664.1). You also can have your healthcare provider (MD, DO, DPM, or NP) complete a statement on their letterhead. The statement must describe the disabling condition and verify that the disability qualifies according to the law. Bring the form or statement to the issuing agency in your locality (normally the office of your city clerk, town clerk or village clerk). There is no fee for a permit. Remember that the DMV does not issue the parking permits.
A locality can establish a local law or ordinance to reserve parking spaces on a street and install the signs. Municipalities do not have control over the assignment of parking spaces in private parking lots, but many facilities provide their own reserved parking. If you have a question about reserved parking for people with disabilities on a specific street, determine if the street is part of county, city, town, village or state property. Then contact the correct officials for that locality. Shopping centers that include five or more retail stores are also required to provide and reserved parking spaces for customers with disabilities.
New York City does not set aside reserved spaces on its streets for persons with disabilities. Reserved parking spaces are only available off-street, in parking lots for shopping centers/malls, office/apartment buildings and college campuses. You can use the vehicle plates for people with disabilities or a state permit for people with disabilities to park in reserved spaces in those off-street lots.However, the NYC Department of Transportation issues a City permit (a rectangular dashboard permit) that allows persons with severe disabilities to park at most curbsides on NYC streets. City permits are issued to people with a permanent disability that so severely affects their ability to walk that they require the use of a private automobile. The New York City parking permit is not valid outside of NYC. For more information or to obtain an application for a NYC permit, call (718) 433-3100 or visit the NYC Department of Transportation's website.
For information about a metered parking waiver and how to apply, see the Application for Metered Parking Waiver for Persons with Severe Disabilities (PDF) (Forms MV-664.1MP) and Metered Parking Waiver Information (PDF) (MV-664.2MP).
The NYS Vehicle and Traffic Law does not allow New York City to issue metered parking waivers to NYC residents, and the New York City Department of Transportation does not issue metered parking waivers.
The Residential Parking Permit allows residents to park in excess of the posted one- or two- hour time limits on designated streets in their area between the hours of 8:00 am and 6:00 pm, or in locations designated for resident parking only between the hours of 8:00 am and 6:00 pm. This provides residents the opportunity for the limited storing of vehicles on public streets to the partial exclusion of commuter vehicles.A Residential Parking Permit does not guarantee a parking place. It allows the right to park if space is available. View Map of permit to spaces ratio.If you apply online or by mail, and you live at an eligible address, your permit will be mailed to you at the permit address. Please allow up to two weeks from the date your permit is approved and issued for delivery.
Residential permit parking streets are identified by an area number which is located in the lower left-hand corner of the one- or two- hour parking sign. If you do not have a residential permit you must move your vehicle in accordance with the signs or you may be cited.
We suggest that residents of Areas 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 9 seek alternatives to on-street parking for their vehicles. These areas are very crowded due to a large number of vehicle owners living in the area with only a few streets suitable for residential parking. The number of permits issued is greater than the number of on-street parking spaces available in these areas.
The RESIDENTIAL PARKING PERMIT program has been in effect for over 40 years. It was initiated in an effort to provide relief for residents whose neighborhoods are impacted by certain public facilities, land uses and adjacent commercial districts. This program was enacted into law in Section 31-48 of the County Code . Outside of central business district areas only single-family dwelling units are eligible to participate in the program. For those eligible multi-family dwelling units impacted, residential permit parking can be considered.
Parking on all three university campuses is by permit only. Public Safety officers enforce traffic and parking permit regulations on each campus and patrol campus parking on a regular basis. Each campus has different parking arrangements and policies.
The San Francisco campus is 7-story building located in the South of Market District of San Francisco. Use of public transportation is recommended, as street parking is very limited. If you chose to drive, please allow yourself plenty of time to find parking. Information on nearby garages and public transportation is available here. All automobile parking is allocated based on a selection in a lottery of full-time faculty and staff. Motorcycle parking is allocated on a first come, first served basis to faculty, staff and incoming 2nd- and 3rd-year students.
Permits are required for all parking on the Sacramento and Stockton Campuses. All users of parking facilities agree to abide by the university's Parking Permit Terms and Conditions and to obey all parking and traffic regulations. Permit parking is enforced by the Department of Public Safety weekdays between 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the Stockton Campus and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the Sacramento Campus. All other enforcement is done 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Faculty, staff and students parking on campus require a permit. Permits are sold at the beginning of each academic year, semester and month. Hourly and daily permits are also available through the Passport Parking app.
Public Safety officers patrol campus parking lots regularly. Illegally parked vehicles are subject to citation. If you believe you received a citation in error, please see the Citation Appeal Policies and Procedures. 2ff7e9595c
