Free Residential Parking Permits for Seniors and People with Disabilities

Mayor Breanna Lungo-Koehn is pleased to announce that residential parking permits are now free for seniors ages 65 and over, and that vehicles that display a handicap placard do not need to purchase a residential permit.

Seniors 65+
Free residential permits must be obtained in person at ParkMedford, located at 557B Main Street. Seniors must show a valid Massachusetts driver’s license as well as their vehicle registration reflecting the street for which you require a permit. Two free visitor passes will be provided upon request. Seniors who do not have a vehicle may still get two free visitor passes.

Handicap Placards
Vehicles with a handicap placard on display may park on any street without a permit. However, if you have a placard but do not wish to display it at all times, you will need to obtain a permit for your vehicle. These permits must be obtained in person at ParkMedford and the individual must show the handicap placard, a valid Massachusetts driver’s license, and the vehicle registration reflecting the street for which you require a permit. Two free visitor passes will be provided upon request. If an individual is unable to visit ParkMedford due to mobility issues, a representative can visit ParkMedford in their stead and provide all necessary documentation to obtain a permit.

How do the parking kiosks work?

The parking kiosks are pay-by-plate machines that require you to enter your license plate number. After you enter your license plate you will be able to select the amount of time you wish to park. You will be issued a receipt for your records but you do not have to leave that receipt on your dashboard. The receipt will indicate the time that your paid parking expires. Whatever amount of time you have purchased at a kiosk can be used in any metered space in the City. For example, two hours of paid parking can be used at City Hall for 20 minutes and then the remaining 1 hour and 40 minutes can be used to get your dry cleaning in Haines Square and get some food in West Medford Square. There is a video at www.parkmedford.org that shows how the machines work.
