Fears over parking are threatening a new bus service in Richmond
Richmond is getting a new bus rapid transit system, but one neighborhood group is against the project because it will mean some lost parking spaces. But the new line won't even run through their neighborhood, and there's plenty of parking in the city already.
The Bus Rapid Transit project is called the Pulse, and it will connect the city's east and west ends along Broad Street, one of Richmond main avenues. In some sections, the line will run in its own lanes along Broad Street's median. One of these sections borders a neighborhood in Richmond known as the Fan.
Work on the Pulse will definitely mean cutting parking on Broad Street, some of it for construction and some of it permanently. The Fan District Association says it's already hard enough to find parking in the neighborhood and that the Pulse would only make it harder. The group recently sent a letter to the Greater Richmond Transit Company (GRTC) saying it's opposed to the project.
Blame bad parking management, not transit, for parking trouble
It may be harder to park in the Fan in the future, but the Pulse won't be to blame if that happens. Lots of people park on the street because parking there is usually convenient and cheap, or even free. In most cities, parking is drastically underpriced given how valuable the space spots take up is.
This is especially true for Fan District residents since the city introduced a permit parking progam (which is similar to DC's) where residents can park wherever they want for twenty five dollars per year, per car. That's an incredibly low price for parking in an otherwise high-demand area, which it incentivizes people to park there rather than somewhere else.
For those concerned about the availability of street parking in the Fan, stopping the Pulse would actually be counterproductive because the service will give people an alternative to driving. It'd be smarter to focus efforts on finding ways manage street parking in a way that matches the demand for it.
This could include things like limiting the number of passes per household, expanding permit-only hours, or raising the price of a permit so that a parking spot isn't nearly free. Combined with new transit, solutions like those could alleviate some of the parking pressure that's there today.
These kinds of measures would also keep the neighborhood from having to rely on nearby streets for relief from parking pressure. They'd solve the problem directly, by making sure people who really needed parking in the Fan had it available to them, rather than by trying make it easy to park in other areas.
Richmond is primed to be less car-dependent
Richmond has a lot of similarities to DC. It has a number of historic neighborhoods where buildings don't have dedicated parking and residents and visitors alike have grown to rely on street parking in front of or near their homes. In downtown Richmond, large spaces are devoted to parking, and elevated highways have created some huge barriers between neighborhoods.
Despite it being fairly dense and urban, large parts of Richmond are car-dependent. In the Fan, parking pressures have grown as the neighborhood has gentrified and new businesses and residents have moved in.
Also like DC, though, much of Richmond is perfectly suited for car-lite or car-free lifestyles. And more transit, like the Pulse, could make it easier for Richmonders to use a carless often.
It's almost understandable why residents would be wary of any proposal that, on the surface, seems like it could make it harder to park than it already is. But blocking better transit would ensure that the problem remains. One neighborhood's fear over parking shouldn't stop an entire city's plan for running more smoothly.
DC residents may be willing to pay more for parking
A new survey from DDOT suggests many DC residents are willing to support more expensive residential street parking if it makes finding a spot near their home easier.
Many agree that DC's Resident Parking Permit (RPP) program isn't meeting the city's needs, and should be be updated. But conventional wisdom holds that most substantive changes, especially raising the price of a permit, would stall once voters got wind of them.
But maybe not.
DDOT's Curbside Parking Management study polled residents about how they feel about curbside parking.
The study asked if residents would prefer to pay more for a parking spot near their house, or drive longer searching for a different spot. 63% of residents said that they would prefer paying a little more for the ability to park closer to their home, compared to only 14% who'd rather deal with a longer walk.
This data challenges the conventional wisdom that local politicians should avoid significant changes to RPP out of fear of voter backlash. People rarely like the prospect of a price increase, and fears over parking can stall even the most minor of projects, after all.
But the data says otherwise. Residents do recognize that supply and demand affects parking just like any other good.
On the other hand, survey results are just general. We don't know how popular or unpopular any specific proposal would be. Some residents may change their mind when faced with an actual price hike. Or perhaps the minority opposing change might be so vocal that they overwhelm the majority.
Who knows.
But if this survey is accurate, there's more support for higher prices on DC parking spots than many believed. Perhaps politicians and other decision-makers should be a little more willing to tip-toe into this issue.
Logan Circle could have a solution to visitor parking woes
In neighborhoods with streets restricted to resident-only parking, how can visitors and household workers park when they need to? The Logan Circle Advisory Neighborhood Commission (ANC 2F) recently endorsed giving residents a "coupon book" of passes to give visitors.
This is the best solution for areas of DC where parking is tight. Logan Circle joined the growing number of neighborhoods where one side of every street is reserved for residents only. This makes parking much more available for residents, possibly at the expense of local businesses and houses of worship.
But this arrangement also creates its own problem: if a family member is visiting by car, or a home health worker needs to drive in to care for a resident, what do they do?
In some other neighborhoods, the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) mailed out placards, one per household, which the resident can give to the visitor to display on the dashboard. But for neighborhoods like Logan Circle, this would represent an enormous temptation: if you don't need your pass, sell it to someone who works downtown and they can suddenly park in residential zones.
That is why ANCs in Logan Circle, Dupont Circle, Georgetown, NoMA/H Street, and other mixed-use neighborhoods vehemently objected when DDOT tried last fall to expand the visitor placard system citywide. Earlier this month, Logan's ANC instead endorsed the idea of a booklet, where people get a limited number of passes:
Commissioner Cain moved that the ANC endorse a Visitor Parking Program for all residents living within the boundaries of ANC 2F and at a Resident Parking Permit (RPP) eligible address. The proposed program shall consist of a coupon booklet containing 10 individual coupons for temporary visitor parking. Each coupon shall be valid for seven (7) days and may not be reused. Residents must opt in to the program. Each program participant may receive one coupon booklet per year (through the end of FY14). The motion was seconded and approved by the Commission (7-1).This is a much better idea than the all-year visitor pass. Over a year ago, DDOT parking manager Angelo Rao said he thought the city should set up some kind of visitor pass system, and he was under the gun to implement something by fall 2013. For whatever reasons, which almost surely include internal agency policies and bureaucratic inertia, instead nothing happened. Maybe now there can be some momentum for a real solution.
There are still some questions to work out and some ways to improve the plan.
This proposal would make passes each good for one week. That's not so bad, though it would make more sense for passes to work for a single day, and simply offer more passes. Some people have a housecleaner who comes once a week all year. Under this plan, they would get 50 days' worth of passes, but couldn't use them once a week for 50 weeks. Why not? How about a book of 50 day passes instead of 10 week passes?
One big question: what do people do if they need more passes? Some people might get passes from their neighbors, but it also would make sense to let people purchase more booklets. The rate can be low enough that it's not extremely expensive, but high enough that it keeps the numbers of cars parking in the neighborhood from overwhelming the resident-only space, and also deters a resident from selling booklets to a commuter.
The ANC did not work out a way to get more passes; Matt Raymond, a member of the ANC, said that they, Councilmember Jack Evans, and DDOT have to work out details like this.
Another question is who gets the passes. Do people with cars and people without cars alike get them? Does a household with 2 drivers get the same number as an apartment of a single person? What about basement rental units? What about illegal basement rental units?
Raymond said the commission was split on this issue, and said, "When we discussed restricting it to Ward 2 permit holders, we admitted it was somewhat arbitrary, but there was sentiment (I among those who felt this way) that there needed to be some way to restrict them rather than a no-holds-barred approach."
"Ward 2 permit holders" are people who have a car registered with a residential parking permit in the area. That is probably not a good criterion, because a person who has no car will have visitors just as much as a person who has a car. On the other hand, it's a dense neighborhood with a lot of people, and ten week-long parking passes for every person could bring in a lot of cars.
If people can buy more coupons, then one good way to deal with this is over time to lower the number of passes in the first, free book, while letting people buy more. That would discourage over-use, and DDOT could adjust the size of the initial book and the price for more until the demand doesn't overwhelm the neighborhood supply of spaces.
Will this program (or an even better day pass version with the chance to buy more books) become reality, and even expand to other mixed-use neighborhoods? DDOT has had a years-long track record of promising to do something about parking and then failing.
Walt Cain, another ANC 2F commissioner, said, "My understanding is that the new crew at DDOT is not in favor of visitor parking generally, so it will likely be an uphill battle to actually get the program put in place."
DC Councilmember Mary Cheh's Committee on Transportation and the Environment is holding a hearing on parking Wednesday, January 29 at 11 am. Perhaps this, and the opportunity to apply it to more neighborhoods, will come up for discussion then.
Enough broken promises from DDOT
The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) promised to complete a number of important projects by now or by the end of this year. Quick quiz: Can you identify which of these have met or will meet the promised deadline?
- Start streetcar service on H Street NE-Benning Road by the end of the year.
- Devise a better system for handling visitor parking passes and residential permit parking.
- Start building a separated bike lane (or "cycletrack") on M Street NW.
- Expand Capital Bikeshare to twice its original size.
- Make pedestrian safety improvements to Maryland Avenue NE.
- Evaluate the effectiveness of a new median on Wisconsin Avenue NW in Glover Park.
The answer: None of the above. DDOT has delayed or given up on all of these promises.

Survey suggests DC residents are open to parking reform
DC residents say they rely on street parking, don't have a lot of competition for street parking, and are open to reduced parking requirements, according to the results of a recent survey from Councilmember Anita Bonds.
On Tuesday, Bonds released the results of her survey about parking in DC. Respondents answered questions about how many cars they owned if they owned any, their experiences finding street parking, and their opinions on proposed changes to the Residential Parking Permit (RPP) and Visitor Parking Permit (VPP) system.
Some of the results are a little surprising, while others seem to confirm suspicions about street parking in the District. But we still have a very incomplete picture of DC residents' experiences with parking.
One question asked how many cars are in your household. 51% of respondents said they had only one car, while 25% had two cars and 18% of respondents do not own a car at all. This suggests car owners were disproportionately represented in the survey, because the number of car free households in DC is closer to one-third.
Since the survey was mainly about parking permits, it makes sense that someone who is car-free wouldn't fill it out. But the council should also try to learn about how car-free individuals feel about parking, since it's part of an overall traffic policy that affects everyone.
It appears that changes to on-street parking will affect a lot of people. Over 70% of respondents said that they either solely rely on street parking or a mix of private and street parking. Half said they have permit parking on both sides of their street, while one-third said they don't have permit parking on their street at all.
However, respondents don't consider parking availability a major issue. More than half of the respondents said that they "rarely" or "never" feel that "businesses, corner markets, churches, or other non-profits interfere with [the] ability to find adequate street parking" near their homes. 28% said that they "sometimes" feel that it happens, while only 13% said it "always" happens. It would be interesting to know where the respondents who said "rarely" or "sometimes" live, and if they're concentrated in certain parts of the city.
Results on the Visitor Parking Program (VPP) are more mixed. Half of respondents said they had used VPP in the past six months, and 57% received their pass in the mail instead of going to the police station to pick it up, as was the case before. 70% said that they would prefer continuing to pick up their passes in the same manner. This suggests that the city should give people lots of different options for getting visitor permits.
Respondents disagreed on whether the city should eliminate parking minimums, but are interested in the idea. The Office of Planning originally proposed removing parking requirements throughout DC, but will only recommend doing so downtown. At least a third of city residents support the idea outright, while 25% are still unsure, but say they could be open to it.
The survey doesn't tell us everything. Many of the questions rely on feelings instead of more quantifiable measures. We also don't know how many people took the survey. I've asked Bonds' office what that number is, but they haven't responded. Since the survey was taken only by people who chose to, there's a self-selection bias, so these results should be taken with a grain of salt.
However, the survey shows that residents' opinions on parking are fairly mixed, and that they may be open to changes. It indicates the potential for greater support for serious parking reform, which conventional wisdom says would face significant political obstacles at the DC Council. With this in mind, it's time to collect even more detailed and rigorous information about how and where DC residents park their cars.
For parking reform, ask better questions
As the District debates changing the way it distributes parking permits, Councilmember Anita Bonds is surveying DC residents about their experiences with on-street parking. But if we really want to understand how parking works, the Council needs to ask the right questions.
Previously, District residents could purchase ward-restricted residential parking permits (RPPs) to park on their street and automatically receive visitor parking permits (VPPs) for their guests. The city was going to require residents to apply for a VPP, but after public outcry, the DC Council decided to keep the existing arrangement.
While it's good to know what people think about the current parking program, it's important that a poll strive to be very clear about it's aims while avoiding unnecessary or potentially misleading questions. Bonds' survey conflates issues about parking in general with the specifics of the current permitting process.
The poll begins by asking whether you live in a single-family house or an apartment, how many automobiles are in your household, and whether you own a bike, scooter, or motorbike. The questions also ask if you use on-street parking and if the street you live on has ward-restricted parking. These are good questions to ask to begin to learn how many people would be affected by any changes to on-street parking.
Then the survey begins asking broader questions about parking. Question 7 asks if the respondent "feels" that "businesses, corner markets, churches, or other non-profits interfere with your ability to find adequate street parking near your home?"
The way someone feels about parking isn't an objective measurement. Feelings can mean many things to many people, and can be interpreted differently by each survey taker. Someone may be okay with parking 2 or 3 blocks away from their home, while another person may feel like that anytime they have to park in front of their neighbor's door instead of their own is asking too much.
Question 6 asks if respondents feel that there is enough parking for them and their neighbors on their block. But "enough" parking means different things to different people? It's hard to know what the value of parking is unless we have a quantifiable standard. A good follow up question would be to ask someone to estimate how far they park from their house 75% of time.
While businesses, corner markets, churches, and other non-profits may take up a lot of parking, they also aren't the only things that affect parking on a block. Your neighbors obviously affect your parking as well. The survey should ask respondents how many garages are on their block, whether they normally see the same cars day after day, or if their neighbors have alternative parking arrangements. These questions help create a more complete picture and allow us to understand what factors influence the way people "feel" about their parking situation.
The next few questions focus on the specifics of VPP and whether survey takers have used the current system. It's important to know what people think of the current system before taking any changes into account.
Question 14 simply asks if respondents believe in eliminating parking minimums in new developments. There are two issues with this. One is that the broad question of how to allocate street parking in the District is totally separate from how the city should handle VPP. And second, the proposal to eliminate parking minimums in new development is now limited to downtown. The Office of Planning (OP) has backed off eliminating parking minimums outside of the downtown area.
This question can lead people to assume that there is a policy in the works that doesn't actually exist. Bonds may be better served by having a separate poll about RPP as a whole or simply taking time to explain that different solutions may exist for resident and visitor parking.
While the survey is about the availability of parking in different neighborhoods, the survey totally ignores the price of parking, which has a huge impact on its availability. Right now, the price of a RPP is just $35 a year. That covers the administrative costs of the program, but it doesn't reflect the value of the land a parking space consumes or the external impacts on that block, the city, and the region as a whole.
Bonds or anyone else on the council shouldn't ignore this element. Most people wouldn't like the prospect of paying more for something, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't have to pay a fair price for parking.
However, there is one question that the survey gets right. The final question allows survey takers to say whatever they wish about any parking issue in the District. So if you do support the elimination of parking minimums for new development, or believe that residential and visitor parking permits should be overhauled, you can let Councilmember Bonds know.
Most Ward 2 neighborhoods oppose visitor parking passes
Most of the Advisory Neighborhood Commissions in DC's Ward 2 have passed resolutions saying they don't want a free visitor parking placard program in their neighborhoods. The commissions went on record on this issue up to a year ago, but last week, transportation officials announced that they'll expand the program citywide anyway.
Ward 2 Councilmember Jack Evans also opposes the plan. He citing the opposition of "most of the ANCs" in his ward, while saying he only has gotten a few messages from constituents who support the program.
Georgetown's ANC hasn't passed such a resolution, but that doesn't mean they support it, either. Its chair, Ron Lewis, told residents and the media that "this came as a total surprise to us." Lewis has been working for years with Georgetown residents and DDOT parking planners to find agreement on a set of parking proposals that everyone would support.
Shortly before DDOT's announcement, the agency's planners in charge of parking, Damon Harvey and Angelo Rao, left or were fired. Harvey and Rao had led two parking town halls in Georgetown and dozens of meetings of an ad hoc Georgetown Parking Working Group made up of residents and business representatives. I was involved in these meetings, and all parties felt that the group was very close to a set of consensus proposals after years of negotiation.
Free visitor parking passes for all Georgetown RPP holders was never a serious proposal in these discussions, and community leaders communicated concerns about expanding these passes into Georgetown several times.
We've been here before
Last year, a similar process played out. DDOT spokesperson Monica Hernandez told reporters that the agency intended to expand the trial citywide. In response, ANCs throughout Ward 2 passed resolutions opposing the idea and sent the resolutions to DDOT.
For example, here is Dupont's ANC 2B resolution from last October.
DDOT ultimately pulled back and did not expand the program to these neighborhoods in 2012. Rao promised to devise a replacement system before this fall. However, with no new program on the horizon, DDOT announced it would offer visitor passes to all neighborhoods by October 1 and proposed regulations making that possible.
You can provide feedback on DDOT's expansion of the visitor parking program through the mandated 30-day comment period for all such regulations. To tell the agency how you feel about their regulations expanding free visitor parking placards citywide, email firstname.lastname@example.com before September 8.
Dutch auctions could improve parking permits in DC
Nothing in urban life seems to be as contentious as on-street parking in DC. One answer may be a Dutch auction, which allows residents to set the price of parking, making parking more responsive to demand.
In DC, residential parking permits (RPPs) are sold to residents well below market rates, meaning people have an incentive to use more space than they may need. This restricts the supply of parking for everyone. And the city isn't making any more on-street parking spaces.
Unlike standard, or English, auctions, in a Dutch auction, prices start high and drop over time. When the price reaches a level that you are willing to pay, you submit your bid and the auction ends. In a modified Dutch auction, the auction doesn't end until the last item sells. At that point, anyone who bid higher than the lowest bid will get a refund for the difference.
Northwestern University uses this kind of auction for its Purple Pricing basketball ticket scheme. Like residential parking spaces, basketball tickets are generally similar, but certain kinds of both are worth more than others.
In Purple Pricing, sports fans visit a website or call a hotline to learn the current selling price for tickets. This price may decline as the game date approaches, but it will never increase. If the price goes down after you buy tickets, you'll receive a refund for the difference. This prevents fans from holding out until the last minute to buy tickets because they'll get the best price no matter what.
A parking auction could work similarly. DDOT would determine the number of parking spaces to be auctioned in each RPP zone. The agency could maintain the current, albeit flawed zones or adjust them. The important part is determining how many "items" each auction will have. The DC DMV would hold an auction with everyone living in a particular RPP zone who has a registered vehicle.
Auctions could open at the start of each year for new parking passes that take effect a month or two later. Initial prices for an RPP would be much higher than the expected final price, and they would lower by a certain amount each day. The DMV would also announce each day how many permits remain.
Let's say that on April 1, the price of a Ward 1 RPP is set at $500. To some people, $500 would be totally worth it and they would submit their bids. Or maybe they're willing to pay whatever the final price is and they want to get their bids in early to ensure that they will get a pass. But it's highly unlikely that the RPPs would sell out at that price.
On April 2nd, the price would drop to $400. Again, more people place bids, but there would still be plenty of permits left. By April 15th, the price goes down to $50, at which point the permits sell out. Since $50 is the clearing price, anyone who paid more than that would receive a refund for the difference.
Since each parking zone would have its own auction, the price of a parking permit would vary based on resident demand. It's likely that demand for parking in dense Ward 1 is higher than it might be in, say, suburban parts of Ward 5. So for places where demand isn't as high, DC could establish the current $35 price as a "floor" to ensure that price doesn't fall below that amount.
Unlike the current system, which issues passes for a flat fee regardless of demand, a Dutch auction accomplishes two things. It recognizes that parking permits have different values in different zones. And it allows resident demand for parking to set prices.
Since the Dutch auction would happen yearly, prices would fluctuate based on that year's demand for residential parking permits. If fewer people wish to park on the street in a certain part of DC, prices would drop. If more residents want to park their cars on the street, prices would rise. Allowing an auction to set the prices also helps depoliticize the parking process, taking price-setting authority away from politicians and bureaucrats.
What about residents who move into the District after the yearly auction takes place? If there aren't any more spaces, the DMV could simply forbid them from parking on the street. Or if there are any remaining RPPs, they could sell them. Residents frequently sell their cars, move out of the District or to another ward, so it's likely that some come available throughout the year.
A Dutch auction raises issues about equity, particularly for low-income residents who may not be able to afford permits or elderly or handicapped residents who may rely on access to a car. DC could provide some a tax credit based on income, age or disability to subsidize the cost of parking permits.
The current approach to RPPs, in which anyone can get one for a small, flat fee, is inefficient and inflexible. It also fails to recognize the finite amount of on-street parking spaces in DC. Holding a yearly Dutch auction for RPPs allows residents to decide how much on-street parking is worth to them, making more space available to everyone.
DC visitor parking pass program lurches citywide
DC's program of handing out free visitor parking passes will expand citywide, the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) announced today. This isn't, however, the result of thoughtful planning about how to fix problems with parking. Instead, the agency is slouching toward a messy parking policy because it can't manage to develop a good one.
Residents in all neighborhoods, provided they live on a block with residential permit parking (RPP), will soon be able to go to a website to request a visitor placard. The resident can hand that placard, good for one year, to anyone, who can then display it in a car and park for free, for an unlimited length of time, within the immediate area.
DDOT has had such a system for several years in lower-density wards 3 and 4, plus the ballpark area of Ward 6, and more recently in Wards 1 and 5 and the Howard Theatre area of Ward 6. Meanwhile, other neighborhoods in DC, including my own Dupont Circle, opposed applying the same program to their areas.
A year ago, when DDOT last renewed and expanded the program, officials promised to put in place a more permanent system that was better tailored to neighborhoods' varied needs. Quite simply, they failed. In fact, DDOT's two parking managers, Angelo Rao and Damon Harvey, recently left the agency, and some people familiar with the situation say they were fired. Update: I was able to confirm that Harvey chose to leave DDOT (he now works fo ParkMobile in Atlanta), while Rao did not.
Rao told communities he knew he was under a deadline to find a better system by this fall; instead, he created none. The "parking think tanks" Rao and Harvey ran last winter, where residents weighed in about parking problems, have come to naught.
New program makes small tweaks, but could invite abuse
In prior years, DDOT mailed out (often with great fanfare in the press) placards to every household in the affected areas. This year, DDOT will require residents to affirmatively ask for a placard via a website. They'll still be free and easy to get, but perhaps it will cut down on the number of placards out there.
The big question is whether people in the new neighborhoods will give away or sell their placards not to their own visitors, but to people who are commuting to an area. The whole point of the RPP program is to prevent commuters from parking on neighborhood streets.
With the program citywide, it will now encompass neighborhoods with large numbers of offices and residents, such as Georgetown, Logan Circle, and Mount Vernon Triangle. At a parking meeting, commissioners from Dupont Circle's ANC 2B asked Harvey not to expand visitor passes to the neighborhood. Their fear was that it would lead to commuters parking on neighborhood streets, for free, all day.
My own neighbor, for instance, rents out a parking space behind his house to a commuter. Will people start selling their placards? Will that worsen the parking crunch? Will it undercut my neighbor's ability to rent out his space?
Mount Pleasant ANC commissioner Jack McKay wrote in an email, "The purpose of RPP is simply to prevent commuters from using neighborhood streets as free all-day parking lots. So long as residents don't hand their visitor passes over to neighborhood business employees, that purpose remains met. ... Mount Pleasant has had visitor parking passes since 2008. Abuse has been insignificant, and residents, many of whom who depend on household help and child care workers and day-nurse care, love the program."
Harvey often claimed that he hadn't seen much abuse, and said he monitored sites like Craigslist to stop people selling their placards. But will the temptation be too great in a neighborhood like Dupont, compared to Mount Pleasant, which doesn't have large office buildings? (Plus, now that Harvey's gone, will anyone be watching?)
Twitter user @pavethewhales wrote, "My block has guest passes, and they are horribly abused. Out of state cars parking every day. ... Without tying permits to individual homes, [there will be] no accountability whatsoever."
If it becomes harder and harder to park in mixed-use areas, that might lead residents to request the other recent, haphazard parking change: dedicated resident-only parking on one side of every street. That might seem like a reasonable approach, but then will parking become too difficult for short-term visitors to local businesses? And what about residents who need to have more than one visitor at a time?
We need a better solution
Rao promised to develop a more sensible approach by this fall. He wasn't the first. DDOT has only been mailing out visitor passes for a few years. When they started in Ward 4 and then Ward 3, officials at the time said this was an interim step, and they would replace it with a better program soon. But year after year, the agency has failed to fix this, and instead, has extended and expanded it more and more.
DDOT's then-Director Gabe Klein suggested hiring a "parking czar" back in 2010. It took until 2012 to get one hired, Rao, but then Director Terry Bellamy moved parking out of the policy group and into the traffic operations group. Rao told me that bureaucratic struggles between operations and policy made it much more difficult for him to develop any kind of comprehensive strategy.
A good solution would likely incorporate some kind of pricing signal. In neighborhoods with low parking demand, like DC's lowest-density areas away from neighborhood corridors, likely there is no reason to charge much for parking (and, in fact, perhaps not even a reason to limit parking to residents at all). In the highest-demand areas like Dupont Circle, meanwhile, placards shouldn't be free.
One approach would be to set a price for the annual placard. A better approach would give people a "coupon booklet" of passes, each good for one day, that the resident can give to visitors. It would help keep a lid on overuse, and would also let a resident offer parking to 2, 3, or 10 people in the same day, if that's necessary.
Anyone who uses up the booklet could buy a new one at some price— Or maybe there are other good answers. What's for sure is that we won't reach a good policy by doing nothing, having individual councilmembers legislate changes for their wards, and slapping larger and larger band-aids on the problem.
Meanwhile, the more people get free passes, the harder it will be to build support for a better solution. Free passes help some people and hurt others. Those helped will fight fiercely not to lose the privilege or have to start paying, and can drown out those who benefit from a superior policy. Had DDOT set up a reasonable pricing-based system years ago, it would have been a lot easier. Is it even possible now?
Instead of moving forward, we're still back at square one. There's no public plan, not even anybody publicly in charge of parking, and an "interim" program metastasizes for another year.

Grade Reality Networkers ...
Website URL: http://www.reality-networkers.com
Company Name: Reality-Networkers
Alexa Traffic Rank: 23,345
Reality-Networkers has been in business for almost 5 ½ years and currently has 2,450,755 members. They say that they are an online community that helps you build an active team that you can take with you into any program. Basically what it means is that you refer direct members and then help your lower levels get their referrals. Once you have reached level 4 then you can contact your downline and ask them to join you in other online ventures.
Reality-Networkers does allow anyone to join for free and check out the program for fourteen days. At the end of the trial period, members must choose one of two upgrades. They can pay $25 one-time and then work to get 5 direct referrals. Or, they can go with the fasttrack membership plan where they will pay $150 (the original $25 plus $25 dollars for each of their first 5 referrals) and as a bonus, Reality-Networkers will give them an additional 5 direct referrals in their downline.
If members are unable to pay for their upgrade, the site does have thirteen ways for them to make the money. They promote the following thirteen programs as a reliable way to earn the membership fee: Clixsense, Hits4Pay, Bux.To, DealNCash, Yuwie, Wordlinx, Xclix, 10Bux, Titanclix, Adbux, Cashcrate, Treasure Trooper and InboxDollars. The majority of these programs are pay-to-click sites and will help members make a little money. This is a good way for a newbie to get the opportunity to join a program that may have been out of reach before.
Once a member has upgraded, they do get some additional benefits besides just the matrix earnings. If they have a regular membership, then they can send an email to over 2.2 million members every 7 days. If they decide to join with the fasttrack membership, then they can email the membership every 3 days. This can be a good way to advertise additional programs, and the one-time fee does make that a very economical way to get other programs in front of a lot of people.
Each level of the matrix does have specific tasks must be performed before members are eligible to receive commission. The first task is that members must personally refer (or fasttrack) 5 people into the first level, and before they can get paid the first commission (of $40), they also have to teach them and help them each get 5 direct referrals. Once the first commission payment has been received, then members need to find other marketing resources (safelists especially) and share them with the rest of the membership.
Complete all of the tasks and fill the 5 x 3 matrix and the member will receive a total of $640 dollars. $100 of that amount will be used to enter them into the $100 dollar matrix that has a final payout of $2120. That is a very good return on investment, even if the member did do the fasttrack upgrade.
There has been a lot of positive and negative publicity about Reality-Networkers. This program will in no way work without the member actually working. Though there is spillover, no one will not benefit from it unless the assigned tasks are completed. So, there is some effort necessary to make this work. A lot of people have made money with this program, but a lot have also given up when they find that their downline is not quite as dedicated at they are. So, this program is not a slamdunk, but it appears to be a good program if a person is truly dedicated and willing to work to make it pay.

Reality Networkers Contest, Admin issues, Upline issues
I have been a member of Reality Networkers(RN) for 3 weeks. After the first week or so, I joined Reality Networkers Contest. I Referred 87 people to the Contest of RN in this week and I was first in line to win the $400 weekly prize. Then I noticed that all 87 people only had 3 IP's associated with them. I then thought, well this traffic source(ie 87 referrals I got) must be scamming me. So I tried a different traffic source, a couple actually. Same problem with the two other Traffic Sources (same 3 IP's related to all of my Referrals). I had brought in 160 Referrals to RN but the same IP's rotated thru all 160 Referrals. This happened for two weeks that I was the Top Referrer where I should have won the First prize each week for $400 each week. But because My Referrals had these same 3 IP's rotating thru all of them Reality Networkers bounced me off of the LeaderBoard in their Contest and therefore I won nothing. By using 3 different Traffic Sources, ie Solos, Traffic Exchanges and a traffic system called Wedelivertraffic, all of the Referrals I sponsored had one of the 3 IP's I talked about above. So it was not My Traffic Sources that created these 3 IP's in all My Referrals. The only conclusion is that Reality Networkers themselves were creating these IP's within their System. Now Reality Networkers employs Programmers for their Matrix Teams so it is certainly within their capability to do this. If anyone can give me any other explanations I would be interested to hear them. To me it is Very Clear they were cheating me out of Winning the Contest they put on every week. Because I can generate a lot of traffic quickly I was penalized, RN stopped me from winning the Contest put on every week. I should have made btwn $400 and $300 every week as most people in this System Do Not know how to sponsor massive amounts of people. Now the Downline Building Club aspect may be fine and may work. But I look at it this way if they Will Stoop To Cheat Me Once they will/may try to do it again, especially since they hired some good programmers. My group is Referring very quickly for me as I had 389 people in My Downline in 3 weeks (160 of those are my Personal Referrals) but because they Cheated Me I quit the Program as there is no Trust there, especially as I am buying Traffic in most cases. I do not wish to put a lot of money into Reality Networkers if they may cheat me again. No one can stop them from stealing all your Referrals if they wish to. I cannot chance that. I have More Than 5 Up graded Members who are Referring really well for me. And I hate the idea that I may have brought them into a Scam. UPLINE NO LONGER ANSWERS ANY QUESTIONS; NEITHER DOES REALITY NETWORKERS ADMIN; SINCE UPGRADING NONE OF THESE PEOPLE HAVE ANSWERED ANY OF MY QUESTIONS OR EMAILS. Garry Percival

When I first heard of Reality-Networkers I was a bit skeptical and thought to myself is this yet another scam? I soon realized though when getting emails from several of my uplines welcoming me that this is a very nice community to have joined in on to try earning money. I am still a newbie to Internet Marketing and the whole referral thing, but I am getting there. What I think is great with Reality-Networkers is that other members helps you in getting the referrals that you need in able to be successful, I have only felt welcomed so far through this site and looking forward to whats to come with Reality-Networkers.

Reality-Networkers review
I have been with Reality-Networkers for about 3 years now. I personally referred 20 people, but only 6 of them did upgrade and I've been paid my $40 commission. I helped those people to get their own 5 upgraded members and I've been paid my $100 commission also. So this program really pays, but you have to work for it. I am now a Level 3 member and I'm still working hard to help everyone complete their first task too.
With this program, the hardest thing is to find people really willing to work, not people who join and just sit there and wait if money will fall from above. To succeed you have to work hard in real life, and it's no different online.
Right now I have 1,770 people in my downline and I'll continue to work with my team to reach Level 4 to know what will happen next. Since there is a lot of people joining and not working at all, I can't guarantee the quality of that downline I'm supposed to have. But when I reach Level 4, I'll post here again to tell if working so hard with R-N was worth it or not.
Until then wish me good luck!

Slow progress, not sure I can refer
I joined this program years ago and haven't got anywhere with it because I can't get the 5 referrals. I don't think anyone is really interested in this because I have been promoting this for years and no one has joined under me. I see this program has a lot on traffic exchanges and the page features someone who has made a lot of money, but I personally haven't. It said I have a downline, but no list of contacts. I don't really understand how this works.

RN can work.. but how long will it?
I joined this RN free for a month and was given 5 referrals.. which is a great start, but as for what type of people/team who knows. It all depends on who wants it more. Still early yet and I plan to give it a real hard work and invest the minimum $25 for a better look see.

Getting Mentoring Help from a Commentator
I am an upgraded confirmed, active level 1 member of this site and have actually ran into the problems mentioned by commentators here(unanswered email by admin) and uplines not responding to emails to help clarify issues and was about to conclude that this is a scam site and that was what made me to do a google search and came to this site(IMRC).
It is not a question of being lazy but to be properly mentored on how the site works and guided accurately. No one will succeed with this site without proper mentoring.
My earnest desire is to be contacted by the commentator with the headline--'Reaching success with Reality-networkerers'.

Reality Networkers is a scam
I lost my money with them. I can't say one single word why this website is good and why you should join. I can say many words why you should not. Ok this is my experience with this website. Support doesn't answer any emails you send them. You are being ignored completely. The website owners will put up fake payouts in the members area to lie to you but they never answer to your questions. They give you fake referrals and you will get pre-made referral e-mails from them. I first thought wow my referrals all contact me straight away after joining. I sent them back email and none of them answered so I can say these are fake referrals. The website makers are clever scammers, they have automated everything to bring money to them not to you. I saw in my referral stats that one of my referral is funding his Paypal account to upgrade but it's showing me this more that 2 years already. How long does it take to load your Paypal account?.

Reaching Success With Reality Networkers
First, I will say, if your a hard-worker then this site DOES work. I am a hardworking person, and I have made level 1 commission. I have 220 Personal referrals thus far, and I have 1258 people in my downline. I am working with my 5 upgraded members and their referrals, to get them upgraded. It took me 2 months to get 5 upgraded members. So far I have made $40 dollars and soon to reach another $100 dollar commission.
I have read many of these other people's comments. I can agree with some things, and disagree with others. Most of these people are LAZY. You can't expect to promote for 2 weeks, get 15 personal referrals and think 5 of those will upgrade. In my experience, about 1 of 25 people will upgrade. They will upgrade faster if you will promote for them, and help them succeed. Remember this isn't a 1 player team. By helping others, you are helping yourself succeed.
As for send emails asking for help. Many times I don't get an answer. But in some occasions I have gotten answers. I don't know if, the hardworkers get better attention then slackers or not, and no I am not saying that that is good business practice.
I don't mind helping others succeed in this business, if your in it for the long haul. There is a reason why, and how I got 220 personal referrals. It's because I took the time to learn many different techniques, and now I am really good. Yes I even was asked by Gerado to write a report for the entire community.
If you need help in this business, please just write a comment, and I will get in touch with you, and help you do better in this program! I respond to all emails. I help all my referrals, and I will help you too. I GET RESULTS!

Don't miss this Comprehensive Infinity Downline Review + Compensation Review + Team Benefits + Benefits of working with me found exclusively at
Disappointing and frustrating
I signed up with RN on 12 October 2010 and upgraded on 21 October 2010, paying $150 for a Fast Track Account. For this I received 5 active members in my first level downline (people who'd paid the $25 one time signup fee). I personally referred 35 people to RN (of whom 1 upgraded) and have now 427 people in my downline. All seemed to be fine until I started to ask what was keeping admin to pay out my first level commission of $40.
In response to several message board messages to admin I got 2 obscure, meaningless responses - after several weeks. None addressed the issue or created clarity. I then sent several emails and to various people in my upline. I sent a message to the group of mentors supposed to help newcomers. To none of these I got any response. And, of course, I am still waiting for my first level commission or a plausible explanation why it is not paid out - in spite of the fact that it is clearly stated in the Member Area.
Although communication and support is highly recommended in various posts in the Member Area, neither admin nor my entire upline seem to live up to that standard - since I paid the Fast Track Account fee. This total lack of communication has killed my motivation to build an active downline in RN. As I have not heard from anyone, all I can do is speculate about the causes of this behavior.
My personal impression is that people either are totally overwhelmed by the influx of new members (since I signed up about 140000 new members according to the membership numbers on the main page) or they simply don't give a rat's ass (pardon my French). Whatever the reasons for this behavior might be, fact is that RN promises support but does not deliver. RN promises to pay out from 2 forced matrices but does not do that. Broken promises and missing communication is deadly for any kind of downline builder program.
Therefore I cannot recommend RN to anyone expecting more than a flimsy Member Area in 90ties website design, with spelling mistakes and partially bad English, and an upline obviously not walking their talk.

I give Reality Networkers a B
I am still in my free trial with Reality Networkers. I have referred 3 as of today by posting to safe lists I am upgraded in. I think one of the guys I brought in is buying paid sign-ups which is pointless because they will do nothing. This is a long-term gig so if you go at it with that quick buck mindset, failure will soon follow.
The idea behind RN is for you to WORK to build a matrix that you can then plug into one of the many paying matrix systems out there, and that is when the (big) money can roll in without a great deal of effort on your part.
If you are in RN and are promoting it as an easy money system, and then your referrals do nothing and never upgrade... maybe change your approach, lol! I have seen nothing at the site that says that I don't have to WORK to earn the money. In fact I have read many pages that emphasize that you MUST work, that is the whole point, and if you do not work, you will FAIL. It says it that plainly right on the website.
Don't join RN if you are looking for something to plug into that will pay you just for breathing. RN is not easy money, not a scam, and not for welfare cases who want it handed to them just because they input their email address.
Do yourself and your up-line a favor and read the FAQs. Everything you need to know and DO is there. The key is in the DOING. I've been online since 1995 and the number of flashy, attractive websites promising the moon is mind-numbing. You don't get paid at your job for just showing up, do you? You won't get paid at RN for that either, and the best part about it is that they TELL you in no uncertain terms. That is refreshingly honest in the sea of lies that is the Internet marketing world.
Best to all,

Frustrated Reality-Networker
I have been involved in this program for almost a month now. Have 11 personal referrals and over 200 total in my downline. It seemed like a stable program with over 3 million members and over 6 years old.
Upgraded last week ($25 one time). Seems like a big mistake now!
Now no one responds to my emails (they have an internal messaging system). Initially everyone responded!
I want to encourage my referrals to upgrade so I can get paid! But no one gets back to me. So I don't know what my referrals people are doing! What is this company hiding?
I have worked hard to build this program, now I feel frustrated and let down!

Reality-Networkers.com Scam Or NOt
I have mixed feelings about the site. Not a paid member yet, because you got to prove before I start forking money over. I have been working on the referral contest instead. I just emailed support again about it's member cheating. Here it is 10pm pacific time-Sunday and I am winning. Then Monday rolls around and someone gets 14-20 referrals in 2 HOURS. They tried to say it's the paid the click to site, that still not reasonable.
I have been tracking the stats for about 8 weeks, so somethings up. I got the spread sheets to support this. I forwarded that to support, curious to see what they say about that. Also, requested (disputed) the winners in the contest. It will only put me at 6th, that's better than nothing .. I guess. If they want to throw money away hell... "write me a check!"
I have not been paid, yet because I must complete all task. I will let you know how that goes. It does have a lot of marketing information to use, and it is a good way to fine tune your marketing tools, for OTHER paying products. So keep that in mind while you work this site.

Not Worth A Plug Nickle
I have been a member of this site for quiet a while and paid the $25 to make more money. I have not made any money with the program. I think it is worthless. Several of the programs they are promoting now are known scams. Also, there is just too much to do to attain the type of money they advertise that you can make. If nothing else, they are guilty of False Advertising! Spend your money on PTC Programs. You will be better off.

It is not worth it
I signed up with Reality Networkers almost a year ago. The price wasn't so big so I decided to join, but now I fully regret that. For this one year that I've been a member of their website I have not made any money! A couple of my friends signed up too as my referrals, but they don't use the program now too, because it's pretty much useless. So in fact we all just lost our money on that. This product is such a big waste time and money. In order to make some money you must have a lot of referrals and they must work very hard. They must do every task the site gave them so you can earn money from them. You have to keep them motivated to do that otherwise you will not get any money from the site. I spent over one year and still did not get anything. I would not recommend this product unless you have strong nerves a lot of time to spend and some extra cash.

Not Worth The Money
I tried Reality Networkers on the 14 day free trial. A friend told me about it and I figured, if I make my five referrals before the trial period, it will not cost me anything. I had a problem with the fact that there really is no product. They tell you they are a club not MLM. I did most of my promoting on social sites and most people that I made contact with felt the same way. So basically, you are paying for a membership to have access to average tools and resources. I did not feel confident enough about this to convince others to join so I did not upgrade. I gave this site a "c" because they have over a million members supposedly. So it has to be good for some people to have that many members, but I think mlm's or clubs should have some form of product.

Not as Simple as You Think
I have been with Reality Networkers for about a year now. I upgraded, got my five referrals and even helped some of them to get a few of their referrals. But then it stopped. I have written to everyone of my referrals daily for about one month and never got a response from any of them. I wrote to my up line trying to get help from them and got no response.
I think that this has the potential to be good but the main concept is getting referrals. If I could get the number of referrals that you need for this program then I really wouldn't need the program to promote my other programs.

Unhappy Customer
A friend of mine showed me the Reality Networkers program. First I was suspicious because to that time I have lost much money in such sites. After all I decided to try the program. When I was asked what upgrade I wanted to take on, I chose the 25$ one - my friend had the same choice, so I followed him. And there the problem goes - my referrals were not active at all - not one of them upgraded, so my profits were too small. As a result I lost my money with no return in the program.. I think next time I should look little more about such programs on the internet before paying the fees.

Not happy with the progam
I sign on Reality Networkers more than five months ago. It seemed pretty easy at first. I got a few referrals myself and even got help from someone on the Reality Networkers team. So I had more than enough referrals for my first level, which is only five. After that 14 days passed and I got notice from my upline that I needed to upgrade, which means to pay the $25 dollars so I would be able to get paid on my referrals. So I did and after that two of my upline sponsors congratulated me on upgrading to paying member and told me what I needed to do next. They told me I needed to help my referrals so I did. Most of them reply to me and seem to understand others didn't. But the more time passed it seemed that none of my referrals were upgrading. I tried contacting them, but wouldn't get a reply. Asked my sponsors for help but they also wouldn't respond and until now I have tried a few more times asking them for help and they still haven't answered me. So I can't really say any good things about the program.

I wouldn't recommend upgrading
I joined for free and decided not to upgrade because all of the initial information was completely overwhelming to me. I joined thinking this was going to be a great source of advertising for my online business, but too much emphasis was placed on referrals, and in the end you can never truly rely on someone else for your income. The two words I would have to use to describe this program are confusing and unpredictable. Whatever happened to keep it simple?

You need to really work this one!
I have been a paid member of this for years and have yet to make any money. I have gotten several others to join and pay, but then that's all they do. I don't understand why people pay for a program and never work it. That is such a waste of money and my time. So if you are lucky to get all your referrals to pay and stay active, then you will earn. The site will give you tasks that they must do before you can earn from them. You will have to spend lots of time helping them stay motivated. You do get spill over and the option to change the members that are in your group. All I can say is Good Luck!

This Site is OK or has been so in the past
I have been a member of Reality Networkers for a couple of years. I have promoted it only in Traffic Exchanges and it worked for a while in the beginning.
I got three paid referrals from my own effort and two more from my sponsor. So I was paid about $40.
But the big problem was to help my referrals with their downline. Only one of the five has his own five that are upgraded and the rest have only free referrals with a few exceptions.
I have sent several messages to the free members but have not got any answers. So I have no idea what to do.
I am still promoting the site, but have not had much results.
I hope the admin makes some changes to either help the inactive ones or remove them if they don´t respond.
I use the feature that permits us to send ads to the members and try to learn new things in the tutorials. Sometimes I check the ads that the members have set up, but I think the site needs some sort of reconstruction to continue to work as it was meant to from the beginning.
Now that there are so many other business sites popping up all the time, it is even more urgent to give Reality Networkers a huge makeover to be seen by the opportunity seekers.

Reality Networkers
I was first introduced to this company by a friend of mine and we soon realized that we were not going to get a return from them. This was right at the beginning before they became what they are today. I lost my $25 entrance fee and spent a lot of money advertising them. My downlines did not respond to any of my e-mails so that I could not help them with their 5 referrals, my friend who introduced me gave up with this crowd long before I did. No response from support either when I asked for help. I was completely floundering on my own so I gave this up as a bad joke.
I am now an associate business owner and advertise under my own web name and am earning commissions every month. You see my business is not an MLM, all I have to do is invite people to visit my website and the money keeps rolling in every month.

Great concept - old hat
I've been in Reality Networkers over 4 months, loved the idea, saw great tools and helps, recruited a lot early but few upgraded.
Contacted them regularly but few responded. Comments above spelled it out quite well, it's hard to motivate people to action that think it is all going to get done for them.
The site definitely needs updating in style and content. I'm still working with my downline and advertising/recruiting but like most things in life it's a few that do all the work. I think this is also true of internet marketing. The sales system averages for all sales is 20% of the reps do 80% of the business - I think in in the case of Reality Networkers it is more like 10% do 90% of the work.
Great concept for those that will work it.
The internet marketing industry largely is responsible for the massive amount of lazy reps, advertising that suggests you hardly need to do anything to make millions of dollars has bred a whole bunch of lazy marketers - they join a program, do a few ads and wait for it to make them millions - it isn't going to happen. You have to take it seriously and work it consistently and any worthwhile program will eventually get results.

A good source of tools, though lacking in some areas
I haven't been a member of Reality Networkers long, but I have seen the good and the bad of the program. My sponsor was and still is very helpful. I've promoted off and on due to computer problems. I am currently level 2 and have put in to receive my commission.
The other side of the coin is that some people expect their upline to do all the work, that they'll progress in levels without doing any work. Trying to encourage the members to try and do what is required is hard, especially when they seldom respond to your messages.
I feel that they need to do a revamp of the site and to clearly define what is expected of a member. I also think that having more incentives could increase member activity and turn this into something wonderful for all.

Honest, down-to-earth opinions and reviews. - Mountain Girl Speaks
I have been Reality Networkers member for many years
I have been a Reality Networkers member for many years and can tell you that I have yet to see a return, even though I bought in the guaranteed level when stormpay was still around. However, I do like some of the tools and the internal safelist produces. Ok results and the other programs you can earn some money off of and promote your own products. So for the measly costs, it has its good and bad points. The tool I use weekly though is the internal safelist and my down line mailer. Don't expect to get rich with reality-Networkers. It is quite outdated and the owner should really give a better explanation of the system. I have been using it for 5yrs and still have no idea when I am going to get paid, if ever, lol.

Reality Networkers creates a Welfare Mentality
This program is based on a great concept, create a downline before you join an opportunity, to increase your own earnings. The problem is, with all the help that they give you to build your downline, it creates a welfare mentality in the referrals that makes them lethargic in their own efforts.
In this program I got 14 referrals, and only one upgraded to full status. The others are just sitting around waiting for someone to place people under them, and to pay their fees for them. They believe that prosperity will come to them just from waiting; it's the mentality that the system creates. And if this is the mentality that they have, why would I have them follow me into any other programs?
I wish there were a way to motivate these people into working the opportunity laid before them into something valuable; but since they can get five referrals without any work, they believe the rest will come the same way.
Reality Networkers gets an A for effort and basic concept, but the actual execution leaves something to be desired. My suggestion is, unless you know a lot about motivation, leave this system alone.

EAST HANOVER - While most men lucky enough to live to be 100 years old are living a leisurely life, Hy Goldman says working is what keeps him young.
Having a passion and purpose keeps the 101-year-old going strong. "It gives me a reason to get up in the morning and go," he says.
Goldman works four days a week at Capitol Lighting in East Hanover. He is an institution at the company, where he's been employed for 73 years.
"He was very devoted to his wife, who was a wonderful lady who also worked for us," says co-owner Max Lebersfeld. "She passed away, but he came back from that."
Goldman was a longtime store manager but in more recent years, he is content in his workshop. He repairs and reconstructs fixtures. "Each one is a challenge and that's it," he says. "Each one gives you something that the last one didn't."
Goldman says he plans to keep putting body, mind and heart into the job.
