The NYCHA option de Blasio is referring to is a new partnership between the New York City Housing Authority and Zipcar for 24 dedicated parking spots in different public housing complexes. “We’re also bringing more carshare options to NYCHA residents to help them get around, so we can continue building the fairest big city in America.” “For every vehicle in a carshare program, up to twenty households can forgo the need to own a car, fighting congestion and making our air cleaner,” said Mayor Bill de Blasio, in a statement.

The DOT has a published a full list of locations (each site will have space for two cars) on its website. Of the total reserved parking spots, 230 spots will be on the streets, and the rest will be in municipal parking lots. The car-share locations will be spread out over four boroughs-the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens-and be located, for the most part, in neighborhoods that are generally underserved by car-sharing programs due to the lack of parking garages. The car-shares will take up curbside spaces on streets in over a dozen neighborhoods across the city and in municipal parking lots.

Starting Monday, June 4, the city’s Department of Transportation will dedicate 285 parking spots for Zipcar and Enterprise car-shares, as part of a two-year pilot program. New York City is opening up its highly-coveted public parking spots to car-share programs for the very first time.
