Car-Share Program Expands To Queens, Grabs 28 Parking Spots: See Where

QUEENS — More than two dozen parking spots in Queens will be handed over to private car-share companies as the city expands its short-term vehicle rental program.

The parking spots were revealed in a letter sent by the Department of Transportation on Wednesday, listing 28 new parking spots across Queens as part of its car-share expansion.

More than 250 new curbside carshare parking spaces will be added citywide this week and the following week after what the DOT called a “successful” pilot that reduced car ownership. The department said the pilot also helped reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 7 percent.

The city is working with three carshare companies — Zipcar, Getaround and Truqit —to decide the locations.

The blocks in Queens set to receive 28 new Zipcar spots are:
