IN ACCORDANCE WITH SAN FRANCISCO TRANSPORTATION CODE SECTION 902(D) AND 905

EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2009

ALL PARKING PERMIT FEES WILL INCREASE

The preferential residential parking permit (RPP) was established in 1976 to preserve neighborhood living within a major urban center. It is designed to promote the safety, health and welfare of all San Francisco residents by reducing unnecessary personal motor vehicle travel, noise and pollution, and by promoting improvements in air quality, convenience and attractiveness of urban residential living, and increased use of public mass transit. The program’s main goal is to provide more parking spaces for residents by discouraging long-term parking by people who do not live in the area. 

Any vehicle parked in an RPP area for longer than the posted limit must apply for a permit and display it on their vehicle.

Parking Permits are issued to a license plate number and may only be used with that plate. To transfer a permit to another vehicle contact SFMTA Customer Service Center.

NOTE: Residents new to the area or purchasing their first permit must apply in-person at the SFMTA Customer Service Center located at 11 South Van Ness Avenue near Market Street.
