The New York State Permit for People with Disabilities is a blue or red plastic hangtag that hangs from the rearview mirror. This permit allows you to park in spaces that are reserved for people with disabilities in off-street lots such as shopping malls. This permit is valid throughout the United States and Canada.

Vehicle license plate with the International Symbol of Access can be obtained at a Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) office. It provides the same parking privileges as the hangtag.

If you need on-street parking within 做厙TV, visit the City Parking Permit for People with Disabilities page.
