VEHICLE ACCESS

Q: Can I get a vehicle into Midtown Manhattan?

Single occupancy vehicles are barred from entering Manhattan between 6 am and 11 am on Monday through Friday via the following crossings: the Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan Bridge, Williamsburg Bridge, Queensboro Bridge, Midtown Tunnel and Lincoln Tunnel. At the Holland Tunnel, no single occupancy vehicles are allowed 24 hours a day. This measure is intended to help improve traffic flow in New York City. The ban does not apply to vehicles already located within the Borough of Manhattan, or in any of the other boroughs or other inter-borough crossings. Vehicles will be checked at Greenpoint Avenue and at Van Dam Street in Queens, just before the Queens Midtown Tunnel. Vehicles will be checked at each of the DOT-operated East River Bridges: the Brooklyn, Manhattan, Williamsburg and Queensboro Bridges. Vehicles will be checked at Pleasant Avenue in Weehawken, located just before the New Jersey entrance to the Lincoln Tunnel. Drivers in the following categories will be exempted: • Cars with commercial plates, official government plates, or NYP plates. • Vehicles carrying essential emergency medical personnel (i.e. physicians) or other authorized emergency personnel. • Vehicles with New York City special parking identification permits for the disabled. • Medallion taxicabs and livery vehicles authorized by the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission. • Motorcycles. A 4,000-vehicle park and ride is available at Shea Stadium in Flushing, Queens. There is a $2 fee. People can take the #7 subway line or use the park and ride to facilitate car pools.

In addition to carpooling, all commuters are urged to consider subways, buses, ferries and bicycles and even walking at some points during your commute to avoid gridlock. Commuters who are interested in finding a commuter partner can also contact CommuterLink. a non-profit agency, at 1 866-NYCOMMUTE.
