Permits All bus operators who do not have apportioned tags are required to register with the District Department of Motor Vehicles to obtain a trip permit. www.dmv.dc.gov. A bus not properly registered while operating in the District will be subject to a fine. Parking and Protocol It is important to know and follow the traffic and parking regulations when operating in the city. Be aware of pedestrians and bicyclists and read all signage carefully. District regulations are strictly enforced and violations will result in a ticket. Please refer to the attached map of Motorcoach Parking and Pick-Up/Drop-Off Locations for designated bus parking spaces in the city. Please check posted signs before parking as some short and long-term parking is subject to change. Don't embark or disembark passengers in "Loading Zones" or at Metrobus stops. Don’t park in any area posted “No parking” or “No Standing” Don’t double park. Don’t park in a bus zone for longer than the posted time limit. Don’t idle your engine for more than 3 minutes.
