West New York has accessible and reserved parking for people with disabilities in each of its lots to ensure safe and equal access to goods and services throughout town. If a parking space with the international symbol of accessibility is not available, individuals with a disability with a visible valid handicap placard or plates may park at any street meter or in any lot (excluding monthly reserved permit-required spaces). Per NJ State law, (N.J.S.A.39:4-207), when parking at a metered space, drivers with a visible valid handicap placard or plates are required to pay the meter. If the vehicle will occupy the space beyond the maximum time, the driver is obligated pay the meter to the maximum time and can stay in the metered spot for up to 24 hours without re-feeding it. Improper use of a Disability ID and Placard is against the law and makes it more difficult for people with disabilities. Able-bodied people who abuse placards deny curb parking spaces to people in need, and place people whose disabilities aren’t outwardly apparent under an unfair cloud of suspicion. We do not handle dedicated on street disability parking spaces. Please call the Traffic Division of the West New York Police Department at (201) 295-5025 for all inquiries.
