About

CurbDC

Features
Read full description

Never come back to a parking ticket in DC again. CurbDC reads the actual curb rules for the exact block you parked on — pulled from DC's official DDOT open data — and reminds you to move before your time is up. WHAT YOU GET • Drop your spot — tap "I parked here" and CurbDC finds your block face. • See the real rules — meter rate and hours, Residential Permit Parking (RPP) zone, and posted time limits for right now. • Get reminded — one tap sets a "move your car" notification for the moment your limit expires, so you can re-pay or move in time. • Know your zone — save your RPP permit zone and CurbDC stops warning you where your permit already covers you. BUILT ON REAL DATA CurbDC uses DC's authoritative DDOT curb, meter, and RPP zone datasets — not guesses. When the data is ambiguous, we show it honestly instead of inventing an answer. HONEST ABOUT LIMITS Street sweeping and rush-hour restrictions aren't in any usable open dataset — they're posted on signs only. CurbDC shows those as advisories, not hard reminders. The posted sign is always the final word; CurbDC is a guide to help you read the curb faster. Made for DC. More cities later.
