The Seattle Department of Transportation is conducting a review of the Residential Parking Zone (RPZ) program in Seattle. The RPZ program is designed to help residents who live in congested areas by discouraging long-term parking of non-residents on residential streets.

Staff is looking at all aspects of the program, including program goals, permit issuance; zone creation, and enforcement practices. This work is being done in the broader context of the city's goals with regards to parking management, transportation, land use, sustainability, climate change, and race and social justice.

Staff is also looking at best practices for RPZ programs elsewhere.

The city wants to hear from you about the Residential Parking Zone Program. Here are several ways to get involved:

* Fill out the survey online at www.seattle.gov/transportation/parking/rpz_policy_review.htm

* Check out the project web site for updates

* Request a presentation to your community or business group
