Can out-of-state visitors use their disability placards in New York?
Yes, New York State honors valid disability placards and license plates issued by other U.S. states and most foreign countries. Visitors can use their existing handicap permit to access designated disability parking spaces in New York. Just make sure it's clearly displayed and up-to-date.
What are the parking rules for disability placards in New York?
Your New York disability permit must hang from the rearview mirror when parked and be removed when driving. Handicap permits are valid only when the person with the disability is in the vehicle. Do not park in the striped access aisle next to reserved spaces. Illegally parking in reserved spaces results in fines of $50-$150, and misuse may result in permit revocation. Making false statements is a misdemeanor punishable by fines and possible imprisonment.
