Improving Residential Parking in 2025!

The City of Monterey is introducing updates to the Residential Parking Program making parking more convenient and efficient foMap showing the residential parking permit areasr our residents. See map of residential permit zones.


Since the start of the Residential Parking Permit (RPP) Program, residents have been required to apply for permits in person, filling out paper forms, submitting copies of documents, and being available during Parking Division business hours. We recognize that this process is outdated, time-consuming, and inconvenient for residents. For years, there has been a growing request for an online option, and it's time to transition to a more efficient system.

The new online portal will allow residents to create accounts, apply for permits, upload supporting documents, and manage their vehicles, including adding, changing, or removing them as needed. This technology will also improve how our staff manages the RPP Program, enabling smoother operations both behind the scenes and in the field. Ultimately, modernizing the program will provide a more convenient experience for residents and improve service for RPP neighborhoods. We understand that some residents may prefer in-person assistance, and our office will still be available for support for those who choose to visit us for assistance.


With technology-driven, self-managed virtual permits, the process will be simpler and more user-friendly.

✔ No more peeling off old decals
✔ No more paper permits
✔ No more lost permit fees
✔ No more trips to the office to register
✔ Manage your permit online—quick and easy!
✔ A faster, greener, and more efficient way to park!

  • Share Unfortunately, all of the results of the "Residential Permit Survey" are reported as percentages. How many residents completed a parking survey questionnaire? How about releasing a version of the results that shows the actual number of responses for each choice for every question as well as the percentage? For example, the City of Monterey reports that about 22% of survey respondents reside in the Old Town neighborhood: Is that 11 of 50, 110 of 500, 330 of 1,500, or something else altogether? The sample size is an important component in evaluating the validity of the survey's results and to what it extent it might accurately reflect the experiences and opinions of the city's residents on these parking matters.
