Form Mv-664.1mp - Application For A Metered Parking Waiver For Person With Severe Disabilities Page 4

ADVERTISEMENT

What is a Permanent, Severe Disability?
An applicant for a metered parking waiver must have a disability covered by Section 404-a of the Vehicle and
Traffic Law. This means the applicant must have one or more of the following impairments, disabilities or
conditions that are permanent in nature and affect mobility.
Use of portable oxygen;
Legal blindness;
Limited use, or no use, of one or both legs;
Inability to walk 200 feet without stopping;
A neuro-muscular dysfunction that severely limits mobility;
A Class III or IV cardiac condition (American Heart Association standards);
Severe limitation in the ability to walk due to an arthritic, neurological or orthopedic condition;
Restriction because of lung disease to such an extent that forced (respiratory) expiratory volume for one
second, when measured by spirometry, is less than one liter, or the arterial oxygen tension is less than sixty
mm/hg of room air at rest;
Any other physical or mental impairment not previously listed which constitutes an equal degree of
disability, and imposes unusual hardship in the use of public transportation and prevents the person from
getting around without great difficulty.
These are the same requirements that individuals must meet to qualify for a permanent (blue) parking permit for
people with disabilities or license plates for people with disabilities. So if you have been issued either a blue
permit or plates for the disabled, you have a permanent, severe disability according to Section 404-a of the
Vehicle and Traffic Law. However, in order to get a metered parking waiver, you must also have one or more of
the disabilities listed under #5 in the section titled “Eligibility for a Metered Parking Waiver” on page 1.
