2023-2025 Parking Permit Renewals

Current parking permits will expire on September 30, 2023. Parking permits are issued only for vehicles belonging to residents who live on a street within a designated permit parking area (see map).

To renew permits or request new permits, simply complete the form. If requesting a new permit, and the car is not registered at a Town address, you must upload proof of residency in the form of a lease, utility bill, or similar document. In addition to parking permits, two guest permits will be issued per household.

The parking permit should be permanently affixed to the left rear (driver’s side) bumper of the vehicle to facilitate the frequent checks made by the Town’s parking enforcement officers. The guest permit should be placed on the dashboard of the visitor’s car and retrieved after the visit. Vehicles that do not display current decals or guest passes will be ticketed.

RainScapes Supplemental Rebate Program

The Town offers a program that provides residents who complete a County RainScapes project with a supplemental rebate of up to 50% of the County rebate amount, with the total combined rebate limited to 85% of the total cost of the project. 

The County's online portal to apply for a RainScapes rebate reopened on Tuesday, August 1 and will stay open until the maximum limit of applications is received, or by October 15. Most applicants who submit new applications in August should plan for spring 2024 installations. Apply here.

If you need help identifying a suitable RainScapes project for your property, you may sign up on the Town website to participate in the Town's free Consulting Water Management Program, wherein the Town's consulting engineer will visit your property and provide a written report with recommendations on improving water drainage and runoff, including recommendations for RainScapes-eligible projects.

After completing a RainScapes project, a homeowner should submit copies of project receipts and a copy of the paid County rebate receipt to the Town to receive the supplemental rebate.

Safe Streets Community Project

"Slow Down and Stop" Campaign

The Public Services Committee continues its “Slow Down and Stop” Campaign. The campaign envisions a small-town ambience where all residents can safely enjoy walking, biking, chatting with neighbors, and benefitting from our beautiful tree-canopied neighborhood.

This campaign is intended to remind drivers to observe the Town's speed limit and come to a full stop at stop signs. We see the campaign as a supplement to the Town's existing tools to enforce traffic regulations.

We want your input!  Please visit bit.ly/TOCCSafeStreets to:

• Share your ideas about how to encourage people, residents and nonresidents alike, to drive safely in the Town, especially around the public amenities -- Chevy Chase Elementary School, the Lawton Community Center, Wonders Early Learning, and Oneness School.
• Give feedback to the Committee about the campaign initiative.
• Report observed incidents of unsafe driving.  Please include date, approximate time, location and description of the vehicle.  Include the direction of travel and what was unsafe about the incident (speeding, near miss, failure to stop, etc.).
  
  

Safe Streets Community Project

"Slow Down and Stop" -- Did You Know?

As we come back from summer vacations and families gear up for the start of school, the Public Services Committee wants to remind everyone to be extra careful when driving in the Town as more children will be walking and biking to our local schools.

• Students in Town. We have nearly 900 children under the age of 19 living in the Town. Many of these students walk or bike to school or walk to a school bus stop.  There are more than 450 students attending Chevy Chase Elementary School and more than 150 students attending the Oneness-Family Montessori School.  Please observe all traffic rules, especially making full stops at all STOP signs, looking for pedestrians at all crosswalks, and adhering to the Town's speed limits.
• Student Injuries. Nationwide, more than 67,000 child pedestrians are injured and over 700 die each year.  Let’s not add to these appalling numbers!
• Town Safety Measures. Town safety officers will be directing more attention to the areas around Chevy Chase Elementary School (CCES) and the Oneness-Family Montessori School during the hours when students are arriving and leaving.  The Town also has installed two flashing stop signs close to CCES.  We are all responsible for the safety of all residents.  Please “Slow Down and Stop!”

Please continue to share your comments about the Safe Streets project on the Town website at bit.ly/TOCCsafestreets.  The Committee is reviewing the input received!
