Seattle introduces hospital staff parking permit program

Seattle adapted curb regulations and introduced a new hospital staff parking permit program which will give healthcare workers access to free on-street parking around hospitals and testing sites. The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) utilized Coord, its curb management system, to search and make changes rapidly to its curb regulations and to build additional parking capacity. Seattle temporarily suspended the parking restrictions for the benefit of healthcare providers and essential staff necessary to healthcare institutions. This applied to parking garages and lots on an institution’s grounds as well as parking leased in nearby garages and lots for the same purpose.
