BILL NUMBER:S1861D
Title of bill
An act to amend the administrative code of the city of New York and the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to increasing the fine for trac- tor-trailer combinations that park on residential streets overnight
Purpose or general idea of bill
This legislation raises the parking fines for tractor-trailer combina- tions, large tractors, truck-trailers, and semi-trailers that are parked in New York City residential zones.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1. Amends subdivision c of section 19-170 of chapter 5 of title 19 of the administrative code of the city of New York, to raise the fine for tractor-trailer combinations, tractors, truck-trailers, and semi- trailers that park overnight on New York City residential streets to $250 for a first offense and $500 for each subsequent offense within a six-month period.
Section 2. Amends Vehicle & Traffic Law section 237(2) to authorize the City of New York to impose the traffic penalties provided for in section 1 of this bill.
Justification
The current fine for parking a commercial vehicle on a New York City residential street between 9pm and 5am is $50. This small sum of money is of little deterrent value when compared to the costs of parking such vehicles in off-street parking sites. The current situation encourages many commercial vehicle owners to choose to illegally park their large truck-cabs and trailers on city streets over other less costly options. As a result, city residents find precious parking spaces occupied by illegally parked tractor-trailer combinations. This legislation seeks to alleviate this problem.
