For municipalities that partner with schools and school boards student safety is always top of mind. Student Pickup programs, while not necessarily a permitting responsibility, is a key part of keeping residents safe on a daily basis. School drop-off and pick up is often chaotic and often overseen with police or public service officer support. Making sure authorized adults are picking up children is key to both safety and controlling traffic during the school day.
Permits are woven into the daily fabric of municipal operations:
Permits may seem like a smaller detail, but for efficient operational management of a community’s assets, public spaces, and public safety, they are a critical component. How a municipality structures its permitting program, and the supplier they use, is an important aspect of managing the daily operations that affect residents, employees and even visitors. Choosing the right supplier for expert advice, and quality permits really does matter.
Permits help municipalities manage public spaces, regulate access, ensure safety, and maintain compliance with local laws. From parking zones and event management to emergency response and environmental standards, permits are essential for organized and efficient community operations.
Hurricane and disaster re-entry passes are issued to residents and essential personnel to allow safe, organized return to affected areas after an evacuation. These passes help prevent unauthorized access, support public safety, and streamline recovery efforts during emergencies. Hurricane and disaster re-entry passes are a critical tool used to keep people with bad intensions out of disaster areas.
Emission test decals are used to indicate that a vehicle has passed required environmental standards. Municipalities use these decals to enforce clean air regulations, promote public health, and encourage compliance with state and local emission laws.
Yes! Many municipalities now offer online permit registration and renewal, making it easier for residents and businesses to obtain the permits they need. Rydin supports secure online ordering and efficient distribution for a wide range of municipal permits with Rydin PermitExpress®.
Both parking permit hang tags and parking permit decals accomplish similar goals, but selecting the proper application is an important step. Hang tags allow easy transfer and use between vehicles, whereas decals are a more permanent option. Beyond this aspect hang tags can be highly visible and are available in a variety of shapes and sizes. Decals can help security by limiting their use to one vehicle and have options for destructible materials. In either case the needs of the municipality will help dictate which type of permit is issued.
Adding holograms, barcodes, and other features increases the security of permits. Anti-counterfeit printing methods (such as using destructible materials, micro print, and slits) also help parking permits be more secure.
Pre-plan your annual permit order with your vendor. Having a plan will allow for the timely ordering, printing, and shipping of your permits enabling you to distribute them to residents.
Adding your town’s logo or official seal is a good idea. It helps identify the permit and further increases security. Custom images of special events, or village landmarks are also often added to permits to create a unique custom look.

Rydin handles every step of mailing your permits. This turnkey approach eliminates long lines, reduces administrative burden, and ensures residents and staff receive their permits conveniently at their address of choice.
