New York, NY — The New York City Department of Transportation (NYC DOT) has launched an innovative one-year pilot program to regulate overnight truck parking in targeted industrial areas of the city.

Announced on March 20, 2025, the “Overnight Truck Parking Pilot” will provide 45 metered parking spots in three Industrial Business Zones (IBZs) across Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Queens — areas frequently impacted by illegal overnight truck parking.

Truck drivers will be able to reserve a spot for $10 per 8-hour session via the ParkNYC app, from Monday to Saturday. Parking will be free on Sundays. Consecutive sessions may be purchased to extend stay time.

Pilot zones include:

• Flatlands/Fairfield IBZ in Brooklyn (Flatlands Ave. between Erskine St. and Fountain Ave.)

• Hunts Point IBZ in The Bronx (Ryawa Ave. between Manida St. and Halleck St.)

• Maspeth IBZ in Queens (56th Rd. between 43rd St. and 49th St.)

Mayor Eric Adams called the program a “win-win” for communities and the trucking industry, aiming to reduce neighborhood disruptions while supporting drivers with legal, secure rest locations.
