Baltimore folks who live in a residential permit parking area, you don't have to do anything if you have an existing permit, even if it expired since the pandemic.

If you recently moved to an RPP area or bought a car and need to get it a permit, you can apply online and we will mail it to you. Our office is open with limited hours but just for those residents who need a NEW permit and are having trouble with the online system or do not have access to the Internet.

ProjectSPACE creates more space for all
ProjectSPACE creates more space for all

Prior to the launch of Project SPACE, 95% of the parking spaces on some of the busiest downtown blocks in Phase 1 were occupied, making it nearly impossible to locate an available parking space. Since the launch, 77% of the same blocks are occupied, leaving a lot more parking spaces available.

Project SPACE Before and After
Project SPACE Before and After

The goals of Project SPACE were to reduce the abuse of disability placards and increase available parking spaces. Both were accomplished. See what it looked like on the street before Phase 1 launched and afterwards.

How about fixing the meters on E Lafayette Ave between St. Paul & Calvert St. So people stop parking in Loading Zone. Also trim trees back from blocking the signs for Loading Zones.
When will metered street parking resume? A lot of people are parking on the street, and it could be a problem if this information is not provided to the public. A lot of people will be very bothered if they get a parking ticket because of not having the information. Thanks so much!
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!?!
I received the $2.00 yesterday. It still appears that the Parking Authority needs some training in the various areas. especially in the procedural measures. I mean how many people should a citizen be passed around to in order to give a grievance.
The Baltimore City Parking Authority is an unprofessional machine. The parking meters are maintained improperly and are always owing refunds for which they honor.
I live at 234 Holliday Street and there is no (none) residential parking in this area creating extreme difficulty during the week. Would it be possible to request residential parking for permit holders in this area?
Why is it that Parking Authority Vehicles can park illegally impeding passage to garages and causing unsafe driving conditions? Why are Parking Authority Vehicles parked in public spaces overnight over the weekend taking public parking spaces from the public when there are parking lots reserved for Parking Authority Vehicles?
Breaking the law to enforce the law near by plenty of legal spots to park but took the easy way out
How does one petition to get parking restrictions changed? There's a restriction near my job reserving parking for food trucks, but there has never, ever been a food truck there.
Do you realize meters in Hampden are 90 minutes slow, causing tickets to be issued right and left?
No left turn signs 4-6 are useless at Gwynn Falls and North Ave. I sometimes have to sit through 3 cycles to get home. HELP!
For several weeks the parking meters on Charles street between Lombard and Pratt have taken my money and didn't give me a ticket. When I call the number provided it's busy ,always , for two weeks! It's outrageous that these machines aren't maintained and you can't even get through to notify anyone.
