Resident Permit Parking
The Brookline Resident Permit Parking (RPP)
Program allows a motor vehicle displaying a valid resident permit sticker to park on your
residential side street, within your police sector, in excess of 2 hours from 6am to 2am.
Resident Parking Permit
Cost: $25.00 per permit
Renewal: Annual renewal by July 1st, expiring June 30th.
Why does Brookline have a Resident
Permit Parking Program?
The Transportation Board wants to preserve the livability
of our residential neighborhoods by discouraging non-residents (e.g., commuters and
commercial area shoppers) from parking on residential streets for long periods. The
Brookline RPP Program does not prohibit non-residents from parking on local streets for
less than 2 hours, nor does it guarantee neighborhood residents an on-street parking space
whenever they want one. Participants in the RPP Program also are not allowed to park
overnight or to violate any other parking regulations that may be in effect on your
street. However, residents who live in areas that experience high levels of on-street
parking by non-resident vehicles will benefit from not having to move their vehicles to
another street every two hours during daytime hours.
How Do Residents Apply for Resident
Permit Parking?
Residents may submit a completed Resident Permit Parking Application to the
DPW - Transportation Division office at 870 Hammond Street, Chestnut Hill either in person
or by mail. This application must include (a) a valid Massachusetts vehicle registration
indicating that the vehicle is garaged in Brookline (Note:owners of leased vehicles must
provide a copy of a signed lease), (b) a valid Massachusetts drivers license bearing a
Brookline address, and (c) payment of the $25 permit fee per vehicle by cash or check made
out to the "Town of Brookline".
