New York City Parking Meter Rates and Blockface Locations

A 2026 dataset from the New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDOT) documents parking meter rates and regulations by blockface segment across the five boroughs. It maps rates set to reflect neighborhood conditions like land use and parking demand. The data is provided for informational purposes, with users advised to confirm rates at the meter or via the ParkNYC app.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial distribution of Meter_Rate and Commercial vehicle restrictions by Borough and blockface.
• Map parking regulations using the_geom coordinates and Side_of_St for route planning applications.
• Identify blocks with Pay_By_Cel capability to study adoption of cashless payment systems.
• Compare parking rules by Vehicle_Ty (e.g., passenger vs. commercial) on specific On_Street segments between From_Stree and To_Street.

Strengths

• Geospatial data (the_geom) enables precise mapping of regulations.
• Covers all five Boroughs of New York City.
• Includes multiple regulation dimensions: rates, vehicle types, and payment methods.

Limitations

• Sample size (row count) and total geographic coverage are unknown.
• Data may be stale or for informational use only, as the source advises confirming rates at the physical meter.
