Procedures & Services

There are three types of visitor parking permits that can be used to provide temporary Residential Permit Parking (RPP) privileges:

• Visitor Parking Pass - an annual pass that households in Wards 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and Advisory Neighborhood Commission (ANC) 2F may request from DDOT. 
• Additionally, ANC areas in Ward 2 may be added into the annual visitor parking pass (VPP) program if:
• The ANC, by resolution, votes to request that DDOT add the ANC area to the annual VPP program area; and
• DDOT adds the ANC area to the annual VPP program by rulemaking.
• Each housing unit located on a residential permit parking block (or any block in Ward 1), shall be eligible to receive one (1) annual visitor parking pass.
• Each annual visitor parking pass shall:
• Authorize a person using the pass to park a vehicle only in the ANC area designated on the pass; and
• Be valud during a single calendar year (from January 1 through December 31).
  
• Temporary Visitor Parking Permits - 15 day temporary parking permits issued by the local Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) station or substation to District residents on behalf of their visitors or their contractors. 
• Temporary Home Health Care Provider Parking Permits - 60 day  temporary parking permits issued to home health aides by the DMV.
