2. Parking Reform Goals
Increase parking capacity on the street for residents & retail businesses
Increase the understanding of regulations
Increase convenience for residents
Reduce public safety issues related to parking
4. Update downtown zone parking to end at 11 p.m. &
extend grace window to 3 hours
Current
(10am – 3pm)
Proposed
(10am – 8pm)
Actual Enforcement Hours Why?
Capacity issues worsen at night when
non-permitted residents park on city
streets after enforcement hours.
Increase in zone hours likely to result
in increased use of parking garages.
(10am – 3pm)
Current
5. Allow Adjacent Zone Parking
Residents allowed to park in 2
zones in their standard permit.
◦ the zone they are in, and;
◦ the closest neighboring zone
6. Increase Non-Resident parking fee to
market rate
Anyone can purchase on street parking permits for
less than $1 a day
Non-residents use 8.1% of 15,029 total work permits
given in a year
Increase fees to market rate ($150/month). This will
encourage non-residents who work in Jersey City to
use parking garages or public transportation, reducing
traffic on our streets

7. Monthly permit parking areas often remain
unfilled
Replace with
metered
parking or
return to
neighborhood
zone parking
8. Pilot reduced street sweeping (2 days per week
vs. 4 days per week)
Can be revenue neutral and a
better allocation of city staff:
Parking staff can
◦ Spend additional time ticketing
illegal infractions vs. ticketing
people who don’t move for
street sweeping
JCIA staff can
◦ Spend additional time emptying
public trash cans
9. Create dedicated food truck parking area
Focus on high traffic areas without
sufficient food options. A Starting
Place: Exchange Place On The
Waterfront. Areas to consider:
◦ End of York (east of Hudson)
◦ End of Grand (east of Hudson)
◦ Far right east bound lane of
Montgomery between Exchange
Place and Greene Street
12. Regulation Understanding
◦ Require apartment
buildings with parking
to obtain signature
from residents stating
that they understand
street parking is not
available to them if
they move into the
building (punishable to
the building owner
with a substantial fine)
Apartment Parking Awareness Form
This form recognizes that any resident living in an apartment building with
available parking (free or at cost) is ineligible for a zoned parking permit.
The resident and building owner must both be fully aware of this
condition prior to moving in. Any building owner that does not disclose
this information is subject to a substantial fine by the City of Jersey City.
The signing of this form results in compliance by both resident (s) and
building owner to the guidelines put forth by the City of Jersey City.

13. Emergency No Parking Reform
Not everything is an emergency!
New category of “Scheduled No Parking” for things such as:
◦ Sidewalk repairs
◦ Moving
Scheduled No Parking should be posted a minimum of 6 days in advance
18. Paint curbs red at key visibility areas
1 way road approaching a 2 way
road
• 1 way road approaching a 1
way road
19. Enforcement Issues
Key intersection enforcement by PD
◦ Use incident data
Construction enforcement by PD – training off duty officers to help with
compliance
20. Pilot Painted Bump Out at Needed Intersections
Pilot 1
intersections in
each
neighborhood
downtown
(looking for
suggestions!)
21. Disclaimer
These recommendations are intended as a starting point.
Some changes to recommendations are expected as the Ward E
council office works through the implementation details with
the various city departments.

Turn this into more marketing type language. Find out the home address of the work permits (what percentage). Find out how many we give. This is basically $25 a month.
