BILL NUMBER: S6204            Revised 1/16/18

SPONSOR: LANZA
 
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 occu-
pied 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 resi-
dents 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.
