New Carshare Vehicles And Parking Spots Coming To Harlem: See Where

HARLEM, NY — The Department of Transportation announced the opening of its next phase of carshare parking spaces installed across the city, including nearly 20 in Harlem.

The most recent expansion of the program includes 270 new parking spaces in the five boroughs, which are aimed at reducing car ownership and cutting greenhouse gas through people sharing rides.

The installations began this week and will be finished by the end of next week.

“The city’s carshare program has a proven track record of cutting greenhouse gas emissions and offering New Yorkers an alternative to owning a car as they move around our city,” said New York City Mayor Eric Adams, in a news release. “That’s why we expanded this program in February and why we are doing it again — this time for neighborhoods in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx."

The new parking spaces are exclusively for vehicles from the carshare companies Zipcar, Getaround, and Truqit, which will deploy their cars in the spots.

The most recent expansion comes after the DOT launch of the on-street carshare pilot that began in 2018 in 14 areas of Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens, and Manhattan.

During that time, around 1,140 of its users, or 7 percent of the program's participants, chose to either sell their car or not replace an old one.

“Convenient access to carshare is a proven way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and remove more vehicles from our streets,” said DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez, in a news release. “Doubling the size of this program will make curbside carshare accessible in more neighborhoods, save people money, and build upon the success of our successful pilot program.”
