The New York City Department of Transportation carsharing pilot program is scheduled to launch this Spring. The two-year program would exclusively designate hundreds of spaces in parking facilities and hundreds of on-street spaces in select neighborhoods for shared cars. While the DOT has not yet announced which carsharing companies will participate, there will likely be more than one.
Of particular note is that the carsharing spaces will not be subject to alternate side of the street parking. According to the Department of Transportation website, the following fourteen neighborhoods will participate with designated on-street parking:
- Boerum Hill, BK
- Brooklyn Heights, BK
- Cobble Hill – Carroll Gardens, BK (Including Columbia Street Waterfront)
- East Harlem, MN
- East Williamsburg, BK
- Eastern Rockaways, QN
- Hamilton Heights, MN
- Jackson Heights, QN
- Jamaica, QN
- Morningside Heights, QN
- Park Slope, BK
- Parkchester, BX
- Red Hook, BK
- Williamsburg, BK
