Handicapped Packet (New York, York: college, design, office)

[xoqtox1960]

I have a state handicapped placket. I thought you could park at metered parking with payment. What is the difference between City and State Handicapped plackets?

Was the metered space on the street, or in a lot ?

See NYC DOT - Motorists & Parking - Parking Permits for People with Disabilities where it says, re State permits:

"The permit is valid everywhere in New York State where there are designated parking spaces for people with disabilities. In New York City, these spaces are all off-street, such as in parking lots for malls, office buildings or college campuses"

Of course the word the OP was trying for is placard.

Thanks It was on the street. Do you if I can change the state placket for a city placket?

Read the info at this link carefully to see if you qualify.

NYC DOT - Motorists & Parking - Parking Permits for People with Disabilities

Among other things, it says a City placard is only valid IN the City.
