Robert,
Thanks for bringing this matter to my attention.
Bus tags are not eligible for RPP. However, the
vehicle was first issued a 45 day temp tag to allow it to go through
inspection. Since the temp tag cannot be distinguished as to whether it’s
for a bus or passenger vehicle, the employee was allowed to check RPP.
The expired registration sticker on your vehicle picture represents the temp
tag. After inspection, the vehicle was permanently registered as a bus
and received bus tags. In your picture, this is the registration sticker
on the dashboard which doesn’t have RPP.
I have copied DPW so they are aware the bus, as pictured, is
in violation of RPP and should be ticketed. Additionally, we will follow
up with our employees to not issue buses temp tags. This will prevent the
issuance of RPP. Instead, buses should be issued a 45 day hard bus tag to
allow it to go through inspection.
Thanks! Lucinda

It is a former school bus that someone is renovating, a little at a time. It was ticketed once, and the owner got some new registration. I wonder not just about parking it on the street but about doing car repairs on the street. I know there are some jurisdictions where you cannot do major vehicle repairs on the street. No idea about DC law.
This bus takes up a lot of parking space on the street and makes it difficult for drivers of cars and for pedestrians to get a full view of the sidewalks. The owner should find an off street parking space for this so as to not keep annoying everyone with this large vehicle blocking views and space.
