Curbside Management

Mission
The space on the street by the curb is used for loading and unloading passengers and goods, e-scooter and bicycle parking, vending, vehicle parking, and sometimes for parklets and outdoor dining.
The emergence of mobile technology-based private for-hire vehicle companies, the increase in retail and food deliveries during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the rapid expansion of online shopping and resulting deliveries have increased the demand for this curbside space. Managing the use of curb space provides:
Safer streets and fewer conflicts from double parking, deliveries, pick-ups and drop-offs, etc.
More efficient and context-appropriate curb use
Fairer parking pricing that is responsive to demand
In 2017, DDOT formed a new Parking and Ground Transportation Division (PGTD). PGTD has created a curbside management process and hierarchy that establishes priorities for uses of the curb based on the type of neighborhood and adjacent land uses.

Innovative Parking Practices on Residential Streets
Pick-Up/Drop-Off (PUDO) Zones were established in 2017 under the Connecticut Avenue Nightlife Restriction pilot program in conjunction with the Golden Triangle Business Improvement District, aimed at mitigating illegal and unsafe passenger loading and ridehailing in high activity nightlife locations. Underpriced and unrestricted street parking in these areas led to limited parking turnover in the nighttime hours, leaving little to no curbside space for safe passenger loading. Since then, the program has evolved into its current form and pilot program (launched in 2018) with the following objectives:
Facilitate safe and efficient movement of people and goods to and from the curbside with special care to protect pedestrians and other vulnerable users;
Reduce curbside turnover time, decrease queue lengths, and increase trip completion; and
Make space for all modes to interact with the curbside while improving throughput.
Performance Parking
DDOT is authorized to create Performance Parking zones to manage curbside parking and reduce congestion, which are are designed to achieve the following goals:
- Protect resident parking in residential zones;
- Facilitate regular parking turnover in busy commercial areas;
- Promote the use of non-automotive transportation; and
- Decrease vehicular congestion.
