From DDOT:
“The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) announced today that the Visitor Parking Passes (VPP) that will expire September 30, 2014, will continue to remain valid until December 31, 2014. District residents will not be ticketed for proper use of their 2014 VPP. The VPP program is designed to allow guests of District residents to park for more than two hours on Residential Permit Parking (RPP) zoned blocks.
“As Washington, DC, continues to gain more than 1,000 new residents a month and economic development is on the rise, DDOT is striving to implement a VPP program that will offer guests and contractors with the temporary privilege of the RPP program, while minimizing the potential impact on neighborhood parking supply,” said DDOT Director Matthew Brown.
To better serve the needs of District residents, DDOT is focused on providing passes to those eligible residents who register for passes. Residents can register for 2014 VPP at https://vpp.ddot.dc.gov/vpp/ or call (202) 671-2700. This registration process will assist DDOT in managing the effectiveness and proper use of the passes. Each pass will be tracked and assigned a unique address identifier with a reference code that will minimize fraud and misuse.
District residents who do not have 2014 VPPs may also obtain theirs at a Metropolitan Police Department station or substation in the ward in which they reside. The 2014 passes are currently available with only one pass allowed per household by going to https://vpp.ddot.dc.gov/vpp/ or calling (202) 671-2700.
Residents can pre-register for the 2015 VPP on October 1, 2014, by going to https://vpp.ddot.dc.gov/vpp/ or calling (202) 671-2700. DDOT will send the 2015 VPP passes to residents in December 2014.
The VPP passes can be used for temporary RPP privileges in the following eligible wards:
- Ward 1 – all Ward 1 residents
- Ward 2 – 2F only.
- Wards 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 – all residents who live on RPP blocks
Residents living in commercial zone blocks are not eligible for VPP or RPP. Non-residential addresses are not eligible for VPP/RPP.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
