A 471 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Establishes a parking placard review board

This bill creates a 16-member "parking placard review board" to study how parking placards (for disabled drivers) affect traffic and emissions in New York City. The board, appointed by state and city officials, will examine issues like congestion, misuse (e.g., parking at bus stops), and current enforcement within six months. It will recommend changes to placard rules, including potential limits on issuance, eliminating dedicated parking spots, and improving penalties for misuse. The review aims to reduce vehicle traffic - critical since NYC’s transportation sector contributes 28% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions - and improve air quality. The bill does not change current placard rules but sets up a process to evaluate them.
