Title of bill
An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to parking permit systems for park-and-rides on Staten Island
Purpose
Relates to authorizing a parking permit system for park-and-rides in the Borough of Staten Island
Summary of provisions
Section 1. amends the Vehicle and Traffic law by adding a new section 1640-q.
Justification
This bill would implement a parking permit system for park-and-ride parking lots located in Staten Island. The Borough of Staten Island has three park-and-ride parking lots offer Staten Island commuters a combined 1,157 parking spaces.
Recently, it seems that out-of-state residents are taking advantage of the free parking at park-and-ride lots to the detriment of Staten Island residents. This requires Staten Island residents often have to find less convenient parking when parking spaces in park-and-ride lots are occupied by out-of-state residents. The cost of operating and maintaining park-and-ride parking lots on Staten Island is supplemented with revenue collected from the taxes paid by Staten Island residents and other residents of the state of New York.
This bill, by implementing a paid parking permit system at Staten Island park-and-ride lots in which Staten Island residents receive a permit free of charge and out-of-state residents pay an annual fee for a permit would increase the availability of parking spaces for Staten Island residents.
Fiscal implications
None.
