New York City is introducing a one-year Overnight Truck Parking Pilot Program to provide regulated and convenient parking solutions for truck drivers needing federally mandated rest breaks. This initiative addresses the shortage of legal truck parking spaces and aims to enhance safety, turnover, and compliance within designated corridors.
Key Features of the Pilot Program:
- Dedicated Parking Spaces: Approximately 46 truck parking spaces will be available in key Industrial Business Zones (IBZs) across the city:
- Bronx: Ryawa Avenue (south side), from Manida St. to Halleck St
- Brooklyn: Flatlands Avenue (south side), from Erskine St. to Fountain Ave
- Queens: 56th Road (south side), from 43rd St. to 49th St
- Pay-by-App Technology: The program will utilize Pay-by-App technology to streamline payment options and ensure compliance, making it easier for drivers to manage their parking sessions.
To facilitate seamless parking payments, businesses are encouraged to sign up for a Park NYC Business Account. This account allows companies to manage all employee parking transactions through a single Park NYC wallet, simplifying the payment process for fleet operations. Businesses can add an unlimited number of vehicles to their fleet and manage parking sessions efficiently.
How to Get Started with a Park NYC Business Account:
- Sign Up: Visit the ParkNYC Business Account page and click on “Sign up” to begin the registration process.
- Add Vehicles: After creating your account, you can add an unlimited number of vehicles to your fleet, ensuring all your trucks are covered under the same account.
- Manage Parking: Use the ParkNYC app to monitor and manage all parking sessions, providing a centralized and convenient solution for your fleet’s parking needs.
By utilizing the ParkNYC Business Account, businesses can ensure compliance with parking regulations while providing drivers with safe and convenient parking options during their mandated rest periods.
