Permanent handicap parking permits are available ONLY if you have a permanent disability that is certified by a medical professional. The California DMV issues: 1  Permanent placards, if you are a permanently disabled driver. 2  Disabled person (DP) license plates, if you have a vehicle registered in your name.
Drivers with specially designated placards will have their own designated spaces but will no longer be able to park for free. (Published Tuesday, Jan. 10, 2012) Drivers and passengers with disabilities will soon have fewer free parking spots in the District. The District Department of Transportation is setting aside 400 regular metered spots around the city for motorists with disabilities. It will also end free parking for the disabled at all other meters. The new meters will be installed later this month in areas where officials notice a high concentration of disabled placards and plates . They'll have red tops and allow drivers to stay for twice as long as regular meters.
