[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not the OP, but I work in zone 6 and I have a coworker who lives in outside the District who uses one of those residential passes that she got from a friend.  (It's not a guest pass-- those only last for two weeks.  These are residential passes that last for a year.)  They are horribly misused and I don't know why the city sends these things out.

They are actually guest passes. It's a pilot program in certain wards. [b]They're a huge convenience for families with nannies, home health aides, housekeepers, etc. Before getting one, we had to get a new pass at the police station every 2 weeks. But there is certainly lots of potential for abuse. I think the best solution is for the city to create much smaller RPP zones so that the permit/pass is only valid within a few blocks of your home.[/quote][/b]

I would agree with this. I used to babysit for someone in DC for 2 - 2.5 hours once a week after work. I was really glad she was able to get the pass because while I was usually only there for 2 hours, sometimes I would have to stay a few minutes longer and end up with a parking ticket for being there for 2 hours and 6 minutes. She also used it for her housekeeper. I can see how they could be misused, but I can also see the benefit. [/quote]
