Why Parking Matters

A truck that cannot park close adds hours to your move. Every trip costs time — and at hourly rates, time is money.

How to Get a Permit

  1. Visit boston.gov/transportation
  2. Pay $40-$80 depending on neighborhood
  3. Apply 2+ weeks in advance
  4. Post signs 48 hours before

See our permits guide. Our crews know alternative parking for every neighborhood.
