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

Given the diverse parking needs of workers and businesses in the Northeast Mission, the proposal includes a variety of parking options.

1. Paid parking (blue markings on the proposal)
   • New meters/paystations could start at $0.50/hour, then six months after implementation the meter rate could potentially increase to $1.00/hour.
   • Enforced Monday to 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 their vehicle after 4 hours.
   • Enforced Monday to 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 to Friday from 9 AM to 6 PM (green markings on the proposal). RPP holders are exempt from this time limit and can park all day without needing to move their vehicle after 2 hours. Customers must move after 2 hours, Monday to Friday from 9 AM to 6 PM.
   • 4-hour RPP: enforced Monday to Friday from 9 AM to 6 PM (yellow markings on the proposal). RPP holders are exempt from this time limit and can park all day without needing to move their vehicle after 4 hours. Customers must move after 4 hours, Monday to Friday from 9 AM to 6 PM.
4. Pay or Permit RPP: enforced Monday to Saturday from 8 AM to 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 to Saturday from 8 AM to 6 PM.
