Frequently Asked Questions

The Residential Street Parking Program (RSPP) is designed to give neighborhood residents priority for on-street parking in areas impacted by high parking demand. It helps reduce congestion from non-resident vehicles, such as commuters or visitors to nearby businesses.

Any resident who lives in one of the 3 designated residential parking zones and can provide proof of residency and vehicle registration is eligible. The vehicle must be registered to the resident’s address.

Residents can still park on their existing street or any other eligible street in their zone. There are three zones in the Borough: NW zone (north of Front Street and West of Jackson Street), NE zone (north of Front Street and East of Jackson Street), and the Southern zone (south of Front Street). The residential street parking permit zone map and street list is available on the Borough website: www.mediaborough.com/278/Parking-Permits

We are revamping the Residential Street Parking Program to ease parking demand by removing old placards and blue stickers from the streets that are no longer valid. In addition, utilizing an online system will make it easier for residents to renew permits annually and easier for the Borough to conduct consistent enforcement.
