Clean Air Vehicle Decals - Priority Parking Rules:
On February 12th, 2019, the City Council approved proposed changes to extend the free metered parking privilege to expired white and green decal holders through the duration of the Clean Air Vehicle program, which is set to expire in 2025. Properly displayed PURPLE, RED, GREEN and WHITE Clean Air Vehicle decals & ZEV decals allow you to park at any on-street, metered parking space in Santa Monica without charge for the maximum amount of time allowed by that meter. In other words, if you're at a 2-hour meter, you can park there free for 2 hours-but beyond that, you're subject to ticketing for overstaying your welcome. Please always look for any other restrictions. Clean Air Vehicle decals are issued by the state of California DMV.

EV Charging Waitlist System - How does this work?
You may have noticed that there is a Waitlist system at the new ChargePoint stations located at Virginia Avenue Park (Virginia Ave. side) and on Montana Avenue. The goal of this system is to save EV drivers time by helping to ensure that a station is available when they show up to charge. We recognize the system is not perfect and are working to reduce lag times between users. If you are unfamiliar with how to use this system, please refer to the ChargePoint Waitlist FAQs, Video, and details below for reference.
First, make sure to turn on notifications (in the app, go to the main menu and select Account, then choose Notifications) to receive updates about your place in line. Here's how to get in line:
- When all stations are in use, click Join Waitlist from the map view in the ChargePoint app or tap your phone or card at a station.
- When a spot opens up, you'll receive a text and app notification.
- Accept the spot and it'll be held for you for fifteen minutes.
- If you're busy, hit Snooze to let the next person have the spot (but keep your place in line).
- If you don't need a charge anymore, just Leave Waitlist.
When it's time to move your vehicle, you'll receive a text notification.

Are You Plug-in Ready?
The electrical utility serving Santa Monica, Southern California Edison, has a library of resources to help consumers Get Ready to Plug-In.
The prevailing wisdom from pundits in the "green media" is that California will play a leading role ushering in widespread adoption of electric cars in the United States and abroad. So for all early-adopters and those in the vanguard of the environmentally responsible, this is a great time to lead by example.
