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:

New York City streets are a battleground—not just for honking cabs and daring cyclists but for something even more elusive: a decent parking spot. As ridesharing services like Uber and Lyft integrate into the city’s daily rhythm, they are reshaping how we think about curb space, congestion, and car ownership. But are they solving NYC’s notorious parking problem, or just making it worse?   The Changing Role of the Curb Ever hailed an Uber only to watch it awkwardly pull over in a no-standing zone, hazard lights blinking, blocking an entire lane of traffic? You’re not alone. Ridesharing vehicles and cabs have fundamentally changed the function of the curb. Once a haven for parked cars, curbs have now become revolving doors for constant passenger pick-ups and drop-offs. They frequently double as unsanctioned loading zones—not to mention the city’s holiest of trash piles and, unfortunately, rat sanctuaries. In Manhattan’s most congested areas, research shows that as many as 80% of Uber and Lyft rides involve pick-ups or drop-offs in no-standing zones. This shrinks available parking and leads to increased double-parking, which not only squeezes out private vehicles but also disrupts bike lanes, bus stops, and delivery operations. It’s a domino effect:

As electric vehicles (EVs) continue to gain popularity, New York City has been ramping up its efforts to expand the EV charging infrastructure. Whether you’re a seasoned EV owner or considering making the switch, staying informed about charging options is essential. Here’s a comprehensive guide to EV charging stations in NYC, including current resources, recent developments, and tips for making the most of the growing network.

Key Developments: Curbside Chargers Expansion: NYC has added hundreds of new curbside Level 2 chargers in neighborhoods with high EV adoption rates, such as Brooklyn Heights, Long Island City, and the Upper West Side.

A Guide to Avoiding Tickets Parking in New York City is serious business even for locals. Parking regulations can change and figuring out what all the signs mean can feel overwhelming at first. We’re breaking down the most common street parking signs to help you avoid pesky tickets and the dreaded tow! Here’s what you need to know about NYC parking signs and what they mean: 1. Alternate Side Parking These signs indicate when parking is prohibited for street cleaning. You might see, “No Parking Tuesday & Friday, 8:30 AM – 10:00 AM”. This means cars must be moved during those hours to allow street sweepers to pass. Alternate-side rules are also suspended on major and some religious holidays, so check out our X account for updates or download the NYC Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Alt Side Parking Calendar. 2. No Standing Anytime This sign means you cannot stop or park your car in a particular area at any time, even briefly. These zones are typically found near fire hydrants, bus stops, and major intersections. 3. No Parking Anytime While you can’t park or leave your car unattended in these zones, you can stop briefly to pick up or drop

New York City is introducing congestion pricing this year to reduce traffic, improve air quality, and fund public transit. As the first policy of its kind in the U.S., it will change how drivers, businesses, and commuters navigate Manhattan’s busiest areas. What Is Congestion Pricing? Congestion pricing charges vehicles a fee to enter Manhattan below 60th Street during peak hours. This is expected to reduce traffic and emissions, and generate funding for MTA subway and bus improvements. Traffic and Parking Changes Fewer cars in the congestion zone could mean faster commutes and less crowded streets, but neighborhoods bordering the zone may see more traffic and parking competition. Suburban commuters might use park-and-ride options near transit hubs. Apps like ParkNYC can help drivers locate and pay for parking efficiently. How to Adapt Commuters can shift to public transit, carpool, or use park-and-ride services to manage costs. Businesses may save by scheduling deliveries during off-peak hours or encouraging transit-friendly commutes for employees. Benefits and Challenges Congestion pricing offers cleaner air, less traffic, and billions in transit funding but may cause spillover traffic in nearby neighborhoods and financial strain for some drivers. This policy aims to encourage sustainable habits like biking, walking, and
