| Ward 4 Visitor Parking Pass Pilot
Visitor Parking Pass
In December 2007, the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) launched a one year Visitor Parking Pass (VPP) Pilot in Ward 4. Each resident on a block zoned for Residential Permit Parking (RPP) was mailed a Visitor Parking Pass. This pilot is intended to address the inconvenience to residents caused by having to obtain a new visitor parking permit each time a visitor was expected.
The Ward 4 Visitor Parking Pass is effective through November 30, 2008; and displays the resident’s Advisory Neighborhood Commission (ANC), a unique ID number, and a corresponding barcode. The Ward 4 VPP allows visitor parking for periods longer than two hours on blocks zoned RPP within the resident's ANC boundaries during RPP hours; and is not tied to any particular vehicle or visitor.
For Residents
Each Ward 4 household on a Residential Permit Parking (RPP) block is eligible for one (1) Visitor Parking Pass (VPP). Eligible residents not in receipt of a VPP may make a request by calling DDOT at (202) 671-2333. The addition of the ANC designation to Zone 4 RPP signs has no impact on Zone 4 RPP permit holders. Residents should remind guests to return the VPP at the end of their visit.
DDOT is currently conducting a survey to determine your level of satisfaction with the Visitor Parking Pass Pilot. Please take a minute to offer your feedback.
For Visitors
Visitors to Ward 4 households should display the Visitor Parking Pass (VPP) on the driver’s side of the dashboard. At the end of the visit, visitors should return the VPP to the resident. The VPP is valid when properly displayed in a vehicle that is parked on a Residential Permit Parking (RPP) block and the ANC on the street sign matches the ANC on the Visitor Pass.
