Enforcement in Residential Parking Permit Areas to Resume September 14th

Enforcement in Residential Parking Permit Areas to Resume September 14th
By Phillip Pierce

To make more parking available to neighborhood residents as more businesses open, enforcement of parking time limits in all Residential Parking Permit (RPP) areas is set to resume September 14, 2020. Vehicles with a valid permit for their area, those displaying a disabled placard or vehicles with disabled license plate are exempt from the time limits. If you don’t have a valid RPP for an area, you will be required to move your vehicle a minimum of one block before the time limit expires.

At the start of shelter in place earlier this year, enforcement within RPP areas was temporarily suspended. As more of the city reopens to activity, parking rules are restarting to be sure the limited supply of curbside parking is available for residents, customers of local business and visitors. SFMTA Parking Control Officers have begun placing warnings on vehicles without a valid permit that are parked in RPP areas so people can prepare to renew or get a permit.  

Apply or Renew Online!

To make it easier for residents to purchase a permit prior to September 14th without having to come to the SFMTA Customer Service Center, we created a new online application process. Residents who need to apply for a new permit or to renew an expired permit may apply online here or download an application at SFMTA.com/RPP.

Don’t wait until it is too late: Turnaround time is about one day for online purchases or two weeks in the mail. Once you are approved, you will not get a citation even if your permit sticker has not yet arrived.

While we encourage customers to use the online application, customers who need to apply in-person can use the re-opened SFMTA Customer Service Center at 11 South Van Ness.  Prior to your visit, please download and complete the application and bring your vehicle registration and proof of insurance with you. Don’t forget to wear a face covering – they are required for everyone’s protection.   

For more information, please see below for specific programs for each of the following situations:

150 Years Ago Today – The Cable Car is Born

150 Years Ago Today – The Cable Car is Born By Kelley Trahan August 2, 2023, marks the 150th anniversary of the world’s first successful cable railway, born right here in San Francisco. To celebrate the occasion, we bring you the story of Andrew Hallidie and the very first cable car company, the Clay Street Hill Railroad.  Andrew Hallidie (1834-1900) was a pioneering inventor and entrepreneur who changed urban transportation. In 1852, at the age of 18, Hallidie emigrated with his father from the United Kingdom to San Francisco during the California Gold Rush. His father, an engineer and inventor, had a wire rope patent that played a crucial role in his son's future success.   Portrait of Andrew Smith Hallidie in 1890. Inspired by his father's wire rope business, Hallidie developed a steel cable mineral mine hauling system in 1857. About a decade later, he designed a wire rope aerial tramway for transporting materials over mountainous terrain. Then, after a stint in bridg...

Shared Spaces are Here to Stay. Permit Renewals are Due January 15, 2023. By Anne Yalon Shared Spaces, amongst many other benefits, allows our residents and families to enjoy safe and social outdoor dining. Seen here are the the owners of Tio Chilo’s Grill and their children in the restaurant’s parklet on 24th Street in the Mission.  San Francisco’s popular Shared Spaces program allows merchants, restaurants and arts and culture organizations to use the curbside, sidewalk and other public spaces to conduct local business activities and stay afloat. What emerged as an economic lifeline during the pandemic is making San Francisco’s streets more energized, engaged and activated. Many of the Shared Spaces parklets have become central gathering places for the local community. “ Our parklet makes me feel like when I go to Mexico, where outdoor seating is everywhere. People end up joining their friends in our parklet. It is a space for our customers and our community," said Liz V...

Tenderloin Streets Transform During COVID-19

Tenderloin Streets Transform During COVID-19 By Kimberly Leung COVID-19 has disproportionately impacted people who live and work in the Tenderloin. As a result, the SFMTA has been working closely with District 6 Supervisor Matt Haney’s office, other city departments, the Tenderloin Traffic Safety Task Force and community members to address the public health issues and unique challenges in the neighborhood through innovative interventions.    The Tenderloin is home to many of our most vulnerable communities including historically marginalized groups such as people with disabilities, residents of SROs and supportive housing and limited-English proficient communities. With every single street in the Tenderloin on the city’s High Injury Network -- the 13 percent of San Francisco streets that account for 75 percent of severe traffic injury collision and fatalities -- thi...
