No Visitor Parking Passes for Georgetown

The passes allow guests to park for more than two hours on Residential Permit Parking blocks.

In July, residents throughout the District received new visitor parking passes, but not Georgetown. Most of Ward 2 did not receive the passes that allow guests to park for more than the two hours normally allowed on Residential Permit Parking (RPP) blocks.

In all the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) distributed some 71,000 2012/2013 visitor passes. According to DDOT, the passes went to neighborhoods in which the Advisory Neighborhood Commission (ANC) requested passes.

Ward 2 Council member Jack Evans' office said it would generally defer to the ANCs to determine whether an area wanted the passes. Georgetown's ANC is still waiting to define its RPP zones before requesting passes.
