Bill > A04552

This bill amends the New York vehicle and traffic law to authorize a parking permit system specifically for park-and-ride locations in Staten Island. The bill allows the city of New York to establish a local law creating a parking permit system for park-and-rides within Staten Island, with specific provisions that require Staten Island residents to receive permits free of charge while out-of-state residents must pay an annual fee. The local law establishing such a system must include several mandatory elements: explaining the necessity for the permit system, exempting certain registered motor vehicles, specifying the times and days permit requirements are in effect, setting a fee schedule for permits, and ensuring that permit fees are credited to the city's general fund. Before implementing the permit system, the city must first conduct a public hearing following municipal home rule law procedures. The bill provides flexibility for local authorities to design a permit system tailored to Staten Island's specific parking needs while establishing clear guidelines to ensure fairness and transparency in the implementation process.
