How do I request permission from Air Traffic Control to operate in Class B, C, D, or E airspace?

Is there a way to request permission electronically? Can I contact my local air traffic control tower or facility directly to request airspace permission?

All airspace authorization must be made through the Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability (LAANC) or FAADroneZone.
