Trade in Parking Permit for a Transportation Wallet

About

The Transportation Wallet is a collection of passes and credits for use on transit, streetcar, bike-share and scooters. Current residential and business permit holders in the Central Eastside and Northwest Parking Districts can trade in unused permits in exchange for free Transportation Wallets. This is one of PBOT's strategies to effectively manage on-street parking demand by increasing parking supply.

Employers

Employers can trade in unused business permits for free Transportation Wallets. Apply at portland.gov/zoneparking and scroll midway down the page to search for "Business Employee Roster and Transportation Wallet Form" under your parking district zone. 

After submitting your application and verifying eligibility, PBOT staff will email a link to have individual employees redeem their own Transportation Wallets as part of this promotion. PBOT does not send out Transportation Wallets in bulk.
