The program is designed to improve parking availability for neighborhood residents.

9. How does the program work?

An eligible vehicle owner can purchase a permit that allows for parking at residential zones during restricted periods. Permit holders are still subject to all other posted regulations in their zone, including no parking for street sweeping or snow plowing when applicable. The permit is only applicable in the zone specified on the parking permit decal.

Permits can be issued for a vehicle whose owner resides within an existing zone.

11. Is there provision for my guests who come by car?

Each household is allowed to obtain up to two visitor permits provided that you purchase a parking permit decal.

12. What is a Smart Card?

Smart Cards are the new, convenient way to pay for parking at meters throughout Greenwich. The size of a credit card, they are similar to a prepaid phone card, in that money is deducted each time you use your Smart Card. This is done via a microchip embedded in each card that tracks the amount of money you have left.

With a Smart Card, you'll never have to hunt for quarters when you want to park at a meter! They can currently be purchased in $10 denominations. For more information please call 203-622-7730.

13. How do Smart Cards work?

To pay for parking with your Smart Card, simply insert it into the slot on the parking meter. The meter's display will show you how much money is left on your Smart Card. Your card will automatically begin adding time to the meter in 25¢ increments, deducting that amount of money from the remaining value on your card. When you reach the desired amount of time on the meter, remove your card from the slot.

Cards will not add time beyond the meter's pre-set limit, or if purchasing additional time would carry you into a time when parking is prohibited on that block. For example, if your meter is zoned for two hour parking, you will not be able to pay for more than two hours. Similarly, if you park in a space at 3:30 p.m. that is zoned No Parking 4 to 6 p.m., you will only be able to pay for 30 minutes using your Smart Card.

14. What should I do if I lose my SmartCard?

Smart Cards cannot be replaced if they are lost. Be sure to keep it in a safe place.

15. What should I do if my SmartCard is damaged?

If you believe the smart card you received is damaged, call the Department of Parking Services at 203-618-3060.
