YES--you do still have to purchase your permit online to be able to pick it up on November 21st at our community distribution. See below for a refresher on how to do this. You will have to make this purchase by November 19th in order for your permit(s) to be available for community distribution. PLEASE let me know if you have any problems with the online purchase system. The kinks are supposed to be fixed, but I need to know if they are not so I can call it to the attention of the appropriate City officials. My email address is bbessor@gmail.com See below for the "refresher": The RPP application site is https://pabc.t2hosted.com/cmn/auth.aspx NOTE THAT THIS IS A DIFFERENT URL THAN WHAT YOU HAVE USED IN THE PAST. The parking authority is using a new system to process payments for permits. If you currently have a parking permit, you are already in the RPP database and you do not have to re-enter your information. If you do not currently have a parking permit, you will need to choose the =E2=80=9Ccreate new account=E2=80=9D option to create an account. The link= for this is in the second paragraph of the =E2=80=9CCustomer Authentication=E2=80=9D= page, which is the page you see when you go to the URL listed above. Then, follow these steps: 1. Enter your drivers license number (with no dashes or spaces) 2. Enter your last name 3. If this is your first time logging into the new system, you will be prompted to change your password. 4. Click the =E2=80=9CHome=E2=80=9D button to see options for changing yo= ur mailing address and email and for adding or deleting vehicles. 5. Make any necessary changes. 6. Click on =E2=80=9CPurchase Permits=E2=80=9D NOTE: PURCHASE OF PERMITS= IS NOT ALLOWED TO BEGIN UNTIL 6 WEEKS BEFORE THE EXPIRATION OF THE PERMITS. PRIOR TO SEPTEMBER 21st, THE SYSTEM WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO PURCHASE PERMITS. 7. After you purchase your decals, you may have to exit and log on again to purchase visitors permits. 8. Print out your receipt. You will need to bring this with you to the pick up site along with appropriate documentation (see below) Only residents who pay with a credit card OR mail in a check or money order prior to October 15 will be able to pick up their permits at the Community RPP pick-up sites on October 17. Residents need to bring proper documentation and identification papers when picking up their permits on October 17=E2=80=94 vehicle registration, driver=E2=80=99s lice= nse, current lease, non-resident permits, notarized letters, student or military ID, etc. See Rules and Regulations on the web-site at http://www.baltimorecity.gov/government/parking/rpp/generalrules.php or call 443.573.2800 for more details. The Baltimore City Parking Authority office is located at 200 West Lombard Street, Suite B.
