\u201cThe goal of the four-hour free parking program in the lots is to encourage people to shop and dine in Bayonne during the holiday season,\u201d Mayor Jimmy Davis said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Parking Utility deserves our gratitude for offering free four-hour parking to non-commercial vehicles in the lots during the 2025-2026 holiday season.\u201d<\/p>\n

The four-hour program does not apply to commercial vehicles or to on-street parking meters.<\/p>\n

All commercial and non-commercial drivers must continue feeding the meters on the streets. The paid permit program for commercial vehicles that park overnight in the lots will remain in effect.<\/p>\n

On certain dates in the holiday season that will be announced, parking charges will not be enforced for the entire day. Otherwise, the free parking will be limited to four hours.<\/p>\n

In some previous years, there was free parking around the clock for a month. However, the program was abused by certain commuters who left their vehicles in free spaces all day, in order to avoid paying for spaces at Hudson-Bergen Light Rail stations.<\/p>\n

For this reason, the holiday season parking program was modified several years ago to allow four hours of free parking at a time in the lots for a given non-commercial vehicle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The City of Bayonne is offering free four-hour parking for certain vehicles from December 1st through January 4th…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":55967,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[30419,3292,30420,9,24,63,134,136,135],"class_list":["post-55966","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-staten-island","tag-bayonne-parking-utility","tag-free-parking","tag-jimmy-davis","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-staten-island","tag-staten-island-headlines","tag-staten-island-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55966","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=55966"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55966\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/55967"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=55966"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=55966"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=55966"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
