Pay or RPP Permit: enforced Monday to Saturday from 8 AM to 6 PM

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.
