The 2009/2010 (Orange) RPP passes for Area 9 have been extended until March 31st, 2010.

FHNA does not believe that the Parking Authority’s new computer system (T2) is currently able to provide the level of administrative competence necessary to successfully renew the Area 9 RPP program in 2010. FHNA has requested that the 2010/2011 renewal be postponed until certain basic criteria are met, including reinstating many of the safeguards that were previously in place but which are not being applied under the new system.

The Parking Authority has acknowledged the seriousness of the situation and have agreed to this request.

The Parking Authority is liaising with Parking Enforcement to ensure that all of the Area 9 passes remain valid until March 31st, 2010.

At this time the Parking Authority website is not open for 2010 renewals.

The Federal Hill Neighborhood Association will continue to work on your behalf in this matter and will endeavor to keep you informed as to any new developments regarding the upcoming renewal.

Welcome to Federal Hill! You will need to either apply for you permit online at http://baltimorecity.gov/government/parking/rpp/index.php before you move into Area 9 or in person at the Parking Authority offices as soon as possible. No matter which route you choose the passes will NOT be mailed to you so you will be required to visit the Parking Authority offices in person to sign for and collect your passes. Baltimore City recognizes that you may not have all of the necessary registration paperwork completed when you first move to the area so, providing you can demonstrate your residency at your new address, they will often issue a temporary permit to allow you time to make the necessary changes to your vehicle registration.

You will be able to pay for your permits online or in person when you collect them. Payment must be made by credit card or by check as the Parking Authority does not accept cash.

Area 9 permits expire each year on the last day of February. Beginning in January of each year current residents will be able to complete the online application for new permits. The permits will be available for collection from the Parking Authority offices on Lombard Street. However, the Parking Authority offices are only open Monday to Friday from 8am to 5pm. Therefore, as a courtesy to all the residents of Federal Hill, the Neighborhood Association hosts a permit pick-up meeting one evening in February to allow residents to pick up their permits outside of usual office hours and to avoid Downtown parking and traffic issues. This meeting is held in our usual function room at the Christ Lutheran Church, 701 S. Charles, during the week before the new permits come into affect. The exact date of the permit pick-up is determined in January and posted accordingly

All residents collecting their permits at this meeting will be required to show the same paperwork as if the permits were picked up directly from the Parking Authority offices.

Payment must be made online or in person at the Parking Authority Offices (no cash is accepted at this office) – no payment of any kind can be accepted at the permit pick-up meeting.

Much of the information contained here is reproduced from the City of Baltimore Parking Authority’s Residential Parking Permit Application Site, which can be found at http://baltimorecity.gov/government/parking/rpp/index.php

As is the case in any large city, the excessive demand for a very limited supply of on-street parking spaces represents a huge and often times extremely frustrating challenge for both the residents and visitors to the City of Baltimore.

The Baltimore RPP Program was begun in 1979 in an effort to address the specific needs of residents in City Neighborhoods where the demand for on-street parking was considered to be greatest. Participating neighborhoods elect to do so through application by petition to the City of Baltimore through the Baltimore City Parking Authority.

Since its inception, the RPP Program has grown to include 40 designated RPP Areas each designated with its own specific number or letter. Parking in each of these areas is restricted to some degree to provide preferential parking privileges only to those residents and their guests who display valid Residential Parking Permits and Visitors Passes on their automobiles. These permits and passes are issued and valid for a one-year period from the designated annual renewal date for each specific RPP Area. Residents must re-apply every year.

As is the case with any privilege, your receipt of RPP’s and/or Visitors Passes requires your complete understanding and acceptance of a very specific set of Terms, Conditions and Regulations that have been instituted to assure your continued safety and convenience as a resident of the City of Baltimore.
