	Motorists PARK Smart

	PARK Smart is a program to make parking easier while reducing congestion and improving safety. DOT is conducting six-month pilots in neighborhoods across the City to evaluate how the program works in different settings. The agency works closely with community boards, merchants, BIDs and other local stakeholders when developing the pilots. Based on the success of the pilots, PARK Smart areas have been made permanent in several neighborhoods. PARK Smart aims to increase the number of available metered parking spaces by encouraging motorists to park no longer than necessary. The meter rate is higher when demand for parking is greatest and decreases when demand is lower. Goals of PARK Smart Increase the availability of parking spaces Increase safety Reduce double-parking Reduce pollution Reduce congestion from circling vehicles PARK Smart Pilots Greenwich Village, Manhattan A six-month trial of PARK Smart began on October 6, 2008 in Greenwich Village.
