The Parking Landscape in NYC

The Brian Lehrer Show | Oct 17, 2023

The price of parking meters is going up in Manhattan (other boroughs will soon follow suit). Henry Grabar, staff writer at Slate and the author of Paved Paradise: How Parking Explains the World (Penguin Press, 2023), and Rachel Weinberger, director, research strategy and Peter W. Herman Chair for Transportation at Regional Plan Association, talk about the parking landscape in New York City, including why so many streets have free parking, the amount of drivers fighting for limited spots and their suggested changes to the whole system.
