NY S03873

Creates a 16-member Parking Placard Review Board, chaired by a gubernatorial appointee, with members representing state and NYC transportation departments, NYC Department of Education, MTA, Port Authority, Manhattan District Attorney, FBI New York Field Office, and legislative appointees

Requires the board to study parking placard impacts on congestion, greenhouse gas emissions, and transit use within New York City, including examining placard misuse at bus stops, loading zones, and meters

Mandates the board develop criteria for retaining existing placards and distributing new ones, including consideration of issuing caps and eliminating reserved parking for placard holders

Board must issue a final report with recommendations within six months of convening to the Governor, NYC Mayor, legislative leaders, and relevant agency heads

Board members serve without compensation; legislative findings cite that transportation accounts for 28% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, with the NY metropolitan area designated as a nonattainment area for EPA air quality standards
