Abstract: A method for reserving a vehicle dwelling zone includes receiving a request from a first user via a software application, and selecting (e.g., automatically), via the software application and based on the request, an available vehicle dwelling zone. The vehicle dwelling zone can include, for example, a curb space, an alley space, a private driveway, or a parking garage. The software application reserves (e.g., automatically) at least a portion of the selected vehicle dwelling zone for occupancy of a vehicle, by causing storage, in a memory operably coupled to the software application, of a reservation record including an association between the first user and the selected vehicle dwelling zone. The at least the portion of the selected vehicle dwelling zone can be reserved for a user-configurable hold period of A second user can be alerted, via the software application, of the reservation record.
