USING LICENSE PLATES AND PARKING PERMITS
The plates and permits may be used to park in reserved parking spaces
u
only when the person with the disability rides in or drives
the vehicle
. People who are not disabled cannot use your parking permit or special plates to park in a reserved space; persons who
park illegally in these spaces violate Section 1203-c(4) of the NYS Vehicle and Traffic Law and can be fined $50 to $75 for a first
offense, and $75 to $150 for a second offense that is committed within two years. Municipalities can impose higher fines. Any
person who abuses or misuses any parking permit or license plates for the disabled may have the permit or plates revoked.
Parking permits should be hung from the rear-view mirror when the vehicle is parked, but should be removed from the mirror
u
when the vehicle is driven.
Generally, the plates and permits are valid everywhere in New York State where parking spaces are reserved for persons with
u
disabilities. However, use of the plates or permit does not exempt you from state or local parking regulations or fees or the
requirement to obtain permission to park in a designated area. The plates and permits are also valid in most other states,
territories and foreign countries. If you will travel outside of New York, check with the police or Motor Vehicles agency in the
location where you will be to be sure your permit or plate will be accepted.
Parking spaces reserved for people with disabilities must be marked with conspicuous and permanently installed above-grade
u
signs that display the wheelchair symbol. These signs are positioned at a height of five to seven feet above the parking space
surface. Designation of reserved spaces may include the use of blue painted lines or markings.
Do not park in the striped
even if you have a permit or plates. Access aisles
access aisle next to spaces reserved for people with disabilities
provide room for people with wheelchairs and other specially equipped vehicles to transfer safely to and from their vehicles.
Localities designate parking spaces for persons with disabilities by local law or ordinance. If you have a question about
u
parking for the disabled on a particular street, contact the authority that maintains the road. If you have a question about
reserved parking at any facility with off-street parking, contact the facility manager or the local building inspector.
PARKING IN NEW YORK CITY
u
New York City (NYC) does not reserve spaces on its streets solely for persons with disabilities. However, the City does issue
a City permit (a rectangular dashboard permit) that allows a person with severe disabilities to park at City curbside spaces that
are not available to most vehicles, or at legal metered spaces without charge. This permit is not valid outside of New York
City. You can have a City permit and a New York State permit, which are issued by the NYC DOT.
Throughout New York State and in New York City, reserved parking spaces are available in parking lots for shopping centers,
malls, office buildings, apartment buildings, and college campuses. You can use the special plates or the State permit to park
in designated spaces in those off-street lots.

METERED PARKING WAIVERS
u
If you have a mobility-related disability and a certain severe disability that limits your ability to access or put payment into a
parking meter, you may be eligible for a metered parking waiver. The metered parking waiver allows the holder to park in a
metered parking space in any city, town or village of New York State (except in New York City) without paying the fee. For
more information, see forms MV-664.1MP (Application for a Metered Parking Waiver for Persons with Severe Disabilities)
and MV-664.2MP (Metered Parking Waiver Information). These forms are available through your local issuing agent and are
also available on the DMV website at dmv.ny.gov.
