Dear Resident:

On January 14, 2008, the State Legislature added a new section to Chapter 243 of the Vehicle and Traffic Law (VTL) to provide for the issuance of a metered parking waiver (MV-664MP) to certain severely disabled individuals. The metered parking waiver allows the holder to park at any parking meter in any city, town or village throughout New York State (except New York City) without putting payment into the meter, providing that the holder is driving the vehicle and is not accompanied by a person who is able to put payment into a parking meter.

This is certainly a new law that many residents are unaware of and therefore, over the course of the next few weeks I will be working with the State Department of Motor Vehicles and the Harrison Police Department to set clear guidelines for distribution to Harrison residents.  Many residents have already been in to see me regarding this new law, and I want to make you aware that presently, I do not have the permits in my office. I hope to begin distribution by the summer time.

This law can and will help so many residents; however, I want to be careful that people do not take advantage of the system. I hope to have more information for you  soon. In the meantime, please click the link below that will enable you print some additional information. Thank you.
