Public transportation allows commuters to avoid gridlock when driving, and it offers a sustainable option for traveling within the city. This lowers demand for on-street parking places. City Parking offers garage management services, working with New York City landlords and large institutions. Here is more information about how parking garages can enhance public transportation options:
Convenient Location
Some parking garages are located in public transit neighborhoods. Having garages located near public transit hubs, such as buses and subway stations, makes it easier to access public transportation. This prevents drivers from having to find parking at multiple locations across the city. Commuters can park their cars at the garage and walk to the transit hub to get on connecting trains and other transportation options. This supports mixed commute models in the city, allowing for greater flexibility for travelers.
Convenient access to public transit makes it easier for drivers to plan their commute and follow the bus schedule. Having parking close by allows commuters to catch the correct bus or subway, helping people to get to their destinations in a timely manner. This prevents people from being late to appointments or events, and it allows employees to be on time for work, preserving their professional images. We operate over 150 parking locations.
Secure Parking
Garages offer a secure location for people to park when utilizing public transportation, allowing drivers to safely leave their cars behind. Within an enclosed garage, cars are protected from rain, snow, and high winds. This prevents branches or rocks from hitting the car, and it saves time from having to clean snow or frost from the vehicle before driving.
Trained gate guards and other garage personnel stop unauthorized vehicles from entering the space. This preserves more parking spots for commuters and helps lower the chances of cars being stolen or vandalized. Parking in a secure location protects drivers when they return to pick up their cars. Some garages utilize license plate recognition, creating greater convenience for drivers while preventing unauthorized access.
Some garages, including ones operated by City Parking, utilize security cameras. This allows personnel to monitor the garage and intervene when needed. Having cameras in the garage provides footage for security records and for police investigations as needed.
Parking Reservation
Having garages participate in parking reservation services allows drivers increased access to public transportation options. Drivers are able to choose a spot in a garage ahead of time. This lowers the risk of arriving at a fully occupied garage and losing valuable time to find a new location.
Reservation services also allow drivers to find garages with the features that they need. This may include accessible parking or electric vehicle charging stations. Drivers can charge their cars as they travel on the subway, allowing them to safely drive home after their workday.
Commuters have the convenience of paying online and receiving a digital pass, allowing them to access garages more quickly and get to the station on time. Having a reserved parking spot near public transportation is able to help lower the number of people parking next to sporting or event centers. This allows for less traffic congestion after an event, which can lower the chances of vehicle accidents.
Drivers have the option of using a daily pass or signing up for a monthly pass. These passes allow drivers to reserve a spot in a garage next to a transportation hub for a day in the city or for regular commutes. Monthly passes may be beneficial for professionals who require regular travel to an office or to appointments throughout the city. For increased convenience, we allow monthly account holders to manage their accounts online and choose automatic payment options.
