Register your vote against RPP by signing the counter petition

The COUNTER-RPP PETITION will be sent to the SF MTA to declare your voice AGAINST RPP in the Glen Park North area (see earlier posts for the blocks in question). If you believe that RPP imposes an unnecessary bureaucratic overhead and cost, and is bad for the neighborhood community, it's imperative for you to sign this.

Only one entry per household within the proposed area will count in this petition.
If you've any questions, you can email no2rpp@gmail.com.

Presentation on SFMTA's Residential Permit Parking's costs & benefits

Proposed area

• $110 per permit per vehicle per year.
• Some people think $110/year or $0.30/day guarantees you a parking spot. This is FALSE
• $110 doesn't buy you a parking spot. It only buys you a permit to parking near your house, which you can to today, free, without bureaucracy.
• Given an average of 2 cars per household ($220) + 20 day permits ($200), that's $420/year
• Guest parking permits require mail-in or in-person purchase at the SFMTA at 11 South Van Ness. Consider the additional time and hassles involved.
• Visitor permits are $8-12 per ONE DAY permit.  Imagine if you have a last minute guest arriving, with the mail-in or queuing at the MTA office requirement...
• The full pricing schedule for guest parking: 
• 2 weeks @ $37, 4 weeks@ $55, 6 weeks @ $73, 8 weeks @ $94
• Max of 20 guest parking permits/year
• Consider if you have babysitters, repairmen
• RPP rules typically only apply during business hours, M-F. The non-resident cars you’re trying to eliminate will not be thwarted outside of these hours (evenings, weekends), meaning this carries MINIMAL benefits to residents during evenings & weekends, when parking is most needed
• Based on historical cost increases, expect $160/permit soon
• A detriment to our community employees
• Employees of 30th street senior center, St. Luke's Hospital, Fairmount school, parents going to Noe Valley Rec. Center, for the most part won't have access to permits; will be forced to worry about parking, instead of tending to the elderly, the neighborhood children.

B O T T O M   L I N E:

• Guaranteed expenditures to you
• Don't be deluded. $110 buys you a permit, not a parking space. 
• Each infraction incurs a $76 ticket - http://goo.gl/WOvM2C
• Guaranteed additional paperwork or queueing at the MTA office to obtain permits
• If you lack proof of residency (renters, students, etc), the volume of overhead rapidly increases
• Zero guarantee this will improve the parking situation in any appreciable manner
• Introducing RPP into the neighborhood is introducing more bureaucracy into your life.
• The absolute cost in parking amelioration outweighs benefits
• Painful for our community workers

Don’t want to pay $440/year* to park in your neighborhood?
