Austin's Residential Permit Parking Program: What You Need to Know

The Residential Permit Parking (RPP) program in Austin restricts street parking in certain neighborhoods to residents with permits. The initiative aims to reduce congestion and prioritize parking for those living in the area.

Neighborhoods like Hyde Park, West Campus, and parts of East Austin are among those affected. Visitors without permits may face fines or towing.

"The RPP program helps ensure residents have access to parking near their homes," said a city spokesperson. "It’s a balance between neighborhood needs and visitor accessibility."

Permits are issued through the Austin Transportation Department, with eligibility based on proof of residency. Fees and restrictions vary by zone. Check the city’s website for specific guidelines.
