<br />Redwood City Residential Parking Permit Program 8 <br /> <br />Frequently Asked Questions – Existing Permit Areas <br />1. How many permits will be issued per household? <br />Up to three annual permits and ten (daily) guest permits are issued per address. A <br />residential parking permit will be required to park on the street for longer than the <br />posted time limit. An individual is permitted to park on their own property without a <br />permit. <br />2. What are the time restrictions? <br />Time restrictions are in effect Monday through Friday from 7:00AM to 6:00PM. The <br />parking time limit is set with the permit area is created and can vary by area, but it is <br />typically 2 hours. <br />3. What do permits cost? <br />There is currently no fee to get a residential parking permit. In the future, the City <br />Council could decide to set a fee to recover the costs of administering the program. <br />4. What would the city do with the proceeds from the permits? <br />If the City were to establish a fee, it would be set to offset the costs of administering <br />the program (police enforcement, establishing new areas, issuing permits, installing <br />signage, etc.), not to generate revenue. <br />5. How will the program be enforced? <br />Parking enforcement officers from the Police Department track (typically by chalking <br />tires or by noting license plate numbers) if vehicles parked within the RPP area <br />exceed the posted time limit, those without a valid RPP permit would be ticketed. <br />6. Do you require proof of residency to request a permit? <br />Yes, individuals must prove residency in order to be issued a parking permit. This <br />can be done with a recent utility bill, a current driver’s license, or something similar. <br />7. Are vehicle registration, vehicle license plate number, proof of insurance, and <br />a driver’s license required to get a permit? <br />Applicants need to show the current vehicle registration for the permitted vehicle and <br />provide the license plate number for enforcement purposes, but other documents <br />are not required. <br />8. Are permits neighborhood specific? <br />Yes, each approved RPP area has a different letter designation (it is listed on the <br />parking sign). Residents with a permit for one area may not park in a different RPP <br />area for longer than the posted time limit. <br />9. Would permits be non-transferable? <br />Yes. Permits are non-transferable and must be used for the car to which they were <br />issued. <br />10. How long will the permit be valid? <br />9.A - Page 16
