How to register
Please ensure you review the terms and conditions prior to registering your vehicle for on-street parking. Vehicles must be currently plated and in good working condition to be eligible to register. You will not receive a physical permit for the vehicle.
In your registration, you will need to provide:

If you have any questions, send us an email with the plate number of the vehicle(s). Please provide two weeks' notice for large events and contact Transportation Services as well as for on-street registration for condominiums or apartment complexes.
