In-person applications for free parking can be submitted at any RTA customer happiness center, or they can be submitted online using the application or website of the RTA. The RTA has been digitizing free parking permit services since August of the previous year, which means that distribution points are no longer required to print and display the permits.
However, the free parking for PoD tourists is only available for a limited time and can only be used for a maximum of three months per application.
