NEW YORK: Parking Pricing in New York City

NYC DOT will implement a variable parking pricing pilot program called "Peak Rate Parking" in a diverse set of locations throughout New York City over the next three years. The program will price both noncommercial and commercial vehicles with complementary mitigation measures that ensure equity and mobility for all users and modes. The project will seek to make the best use of the curb space for the overall efficient functioning of the street for all users. Two strategies will be utilized to secure public support and understanding of pricing policies. A proactive public outreach and stakeholder campaign will be implemented and a package of pricing policies with companion mitigation measures that address the transportation needs of the congested commercial corridors will be implemented where pricing is imposed.

Implementation Time Frame

2009

Funding Program

Value Pricing Pilot Program

April - June 2010 Update

Staff continues to make field visits with stakeholders to observe data collection efforts and parking conditions. NYC DOT staff held a conference call with SFMTA to discuss best practices in parking pricing. NYC DOT coordinated with Parking Operations staff to install peak rate chips and rate cards and to explain the peak rate structure in the Upper East Side. Staff met with Park Slope stakeholders to present the annual results and discuss next steps.

Overall results from the April 2010 data collection show that PARK Smart has succeeded in encouraging greater turnover and more drivers gaining access to metered parking spaces. Pilot results indicate that the parking duration has decreased by 20% overall between April 2009 and April 2010. The number of unique vehicles observed at the curb has increased by 18% overall during the same time period. Parking occupancy has remained high (82% on 5^th Avenue and 92% on 7th Avenue. Of the 74 merchants surveyed, 66% reported that the PARK Smart program had no effect, a positive or a neutral effect on their business. Thirty-two percent reported that the program had a negative effect.
