An introduction to Resident Parking Permits:

Residential Permit Parking was first established in St. Paul in 1979 and now includes twenty-five separate areas that span the City.  Two areas initially included in the residential permit parking program were the areas around the University of Minnesota St. Paul campus and the St. Thomas campus.
 
The concept was simply to provide relief to these residential areas where the intensity of the non-residential use in terms of traffic activities, parking demands and general accessibility interfered with the quality of life within the residential area.  Essentially, residential permit parking gives priority for on-street parking in the abutting residential area to area residents.
