Residential Parking Program Area (RPPA)
The streets of the Borough of Downingtown were, for the most part, not built with the intention of allowing parking along the curbside.  With the advent of the vehicles, however, municipalities began to allow the curbside parking above and beyond those owned be Borough residents, Downingtown implemented the Residential Parking Program Areas (RPPA).  The streets listed below have been designated by the Borough of Downingtown as RPPA's.  Only vehicles owned by residents, their guests, property owners, business owners, their employees, and other authorized persons are entitled to receive a permit to park along the designated streets between the hours of 8:00 AM and 12:00 Noon daily, excluding Saturday, Sunday, and Holidays.

The RPPA program is designed to increase the quality of life in the Borough's older, more crowed neighborhoods; to preserve the safety of children and other pedestrians; to promote traffic safety and the peace, good order, comfort, convenience and welfare of the inhabitants of the Borough; and to encourage those agencies and establishments contributing to increasing traffic to help promote additional parking facilities.  Applications for RPPA permit stickers are available at the Downingtown Municipal Government Center's Administration Building and are renewed every 2 years.
