I work in Northeast Mission—what does this mean for employees and customers?

There are various parking needs for workers in the Northeast Mission as well as for businesses to consider for their customers; therefore, the proposal includes a mix of parking options.

1. Paid parking (blue markings on the proposal)
   • New meters/paystations would start at $0.50/hour, then six months after implementation the meter rate will increase to $1.00/hour.
   • Enforced Monday-Saturday from 9 AM to 6 PM.
   • No time limit, can pay to park all day with the exception of a few blocks.
      
2. Free, 4-hour time limit (orange markings on the proposal)
   • Everyone must move vehicle after 4 hours.
   • Enforced Monday-Friday from 9 AM to 6 PM.
      
3. Residential Permit Parking (RPP)
   • Businesses as well as caregivers, teachers, nurses and more are eligible for RPP. Learn more about the different type of permits at the Residential Parking Permits page.
   • 2-hour RPP: enforced Monday-Friday from 9 AM to 6 PM (green markings on the proposal). RPP holders are exempt from the time limit meaning they do not need to move after 2 hours, they may park all day. Customers must move after 2 hours, Monday-Friday from 9 AM to 6 PM.
   • 4-hour RPP: enforced Monday-Friday from 9 AM to 6 PM (yellow markings on the proposal). RPP holders are exempt from the time limit meaning they do not need to move after 4 hours, they may park all day. Customers must move after 4 hours, Monday-Friday from 9 AM to 6 PM.
4. Pay or Permit RPP: enforced Monday-Saturday from 8 am-6 pm (pink markings on the proposal)
   • In 2018, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) added Pay or Permit Parking as a new regulation type to the longstanding RPP program to better serve residents of and visitors to San Francisco’s neighborhoods. Pay or Permit Parking combines the benefits of residential parking restrictions with the benefits of paid parking: making it easier for residents and visitors to park on blocks in high-density, high-demand residential areas near major attractions, while preserving the residential permit system and generating revenue to support transit service.
   • Residents with a permit are exempt from payment, meaning they may park all day without paying for the meter/pay station.  
   • Visitors without a permit must pay for parking at the pay station, online or by phone, Monday-Saturday from 8 am-6 pm.
