Today, the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) announced the preliminary launch of ParkDC Permits, a new, centralized digital system for DC residents and their visitors to manage visitor, temporary, home health aide, and contractor parking permits via a single online portal.
Live testing of ParkDC Permits begins May 12 with the digital system available to residents in two Advisory Neighborhood Commissions (ANCs) in Wards 1 and 6 (ANC 6B). The system opens up to residents District-wide on July 1.
“ParkDC Permits is another example of the Bowser istration’s efforts to streamline government services and enhance the quality of life for residents and visitors of the District,” said Interim DDOT Director Everett Lott. “This new technology consolidates the entire visitor parking permit process to make it more -friendly and convenient to manage from the comfort of home.”
During the live testing, residents who live in ANC 6B in South Capitol Hill and ANC 1D in Mount Pleasant, as well as their guests, can use the digital portal and provide on its functionality and accessibility.
Residents in these two neighborhoods can set up s and acquire and assign visitor permits for their guests or contractors who seek to legally park in Residential Permit Parking (RPP) zones within these ANCs.
Residents should the annual RPP permit, which is usually purchased together with vehicle registration. Park DC Permits currently applies to visitor permits only.
