City Hall has convened a Task Force with relevant City agencies to address overnight truck parking in NYC and to assess potential solutions. According to City officials, existing regulations prohibit commercial vehicles from parking on residential streets overnight, but the problem has persisted, particularly in outer borough neighborhoods.
They said that with the increased use of freight and expected industry growth, the City needs to examine the trends and data, and come up with solutions that will be long term and sustainable. To this end, a Please click here for Overnsurvey. has been launched to collect information on the topic.
They said that with more input from truck drivers, City officials will be able to accurately assess the current circumstances and build upon the potential needs for the growing trucking industry. They said residents’ responses are critical to help inform and guide the next steps.
They said the survey will close on February 17. Residents are encouraged to share the survey. Email the task force at OTPTaskForce@cityhall.nyc.gov with any questions.
