Resident Access Only Dash Passes

Community members with vehicles that need to navigate past traffic barricades on Resident Access Only Streets may obtain vehicle dash passes.
  • Pick-up location: Piedmont Park Community Center, 1071 Piedmont Avenue
  • Pick-up times: Tuesday, Oct 24 - Friday, Oct 27, 12pm - 8pm

Proof of residency is required to obtain Dash Passes for Resident Access Only streets: (1) a valid ID, or (2) most recent utility bill Or a recent lease agreement.

**Residents of apartment or condominium buildings on affected streets may be able to access dash passes from your management office. Participating buildings will be updated here.

Dash passes visually enable more efficient communication to officers posted at traffic barricades that the vehicle is attributed to a local address, rather than an event patron or general traffic.

Dash Passes do not provide parking on Resident Access Only streets. All standard and posted parking laws still apply on the other side of the traffic barricades.

Impacted neighbors who are unable to obtain a vehicle dash pass during Dash Pass Distribution should be prepared to:
  • (1) identify yourself as a Resident to the traffic officer at the barricade
  • (2) if requested, present ID with your residential address (and a recent utility bill if your address is not up to date with your ID)

Waste Management

Should there be a large accumulation of attendee-related trash on your property (keep in mind most of the clean-up occurs overnight and in the morning of each event day), please submit a Community Input Submission online to report the exact location of the waste. Submission link can be accessed in the Community Input section below.

Submit Support Submission Here

The clean up crew will begin working each day of the event from the outside (in the neighborhood) to the inside (within the park). Clean up crews may be cleaning in the streets overnight until roughly 3am, returning at daylight for anything previously unseen.

ONE Musicfest is placing portable toilets near the exits of the gated festival area.

Rideshare

Rideshare drop-off / pick-up zones are located at: Piedmont Avenue @ 12th Street AND Monroe Drive @ 8th Street

*Note that all submissions are automatically shared with the NPU-E Chair for visibility, and are anonymously discussed in the post-festival debrief with representatives from the ONE Musicfest production teams, Department of Parks, Midtown Neighbors Association, NPU-E, and NPU-F. All emergencies should be reported to 911.
We have worked with the City of Atlanta to ensure we have a plan in place which maximizes convenience to all of our neighbors and minimizes overall impact to the street and circulation patterns for area residents and businesses. We have also coordinated the breakdown of the event to return your sidewalks, streets, and park to you as soon as possible.  

Your neighborhood will be enjoyed by thousands of music lovers; we hope you are among them. Rest assured both city and event safety personnel are in place to ensure the entire neighborhood enjoys this celebration in a peaceful and safe manner.
