§ 16-04.2 Vehicle Tag.

RCNY § 16-04.2

All vehicles parked on City Property for Recreational Uses other than at DUAs and PAAs must have the driver's valid Vehicle Tag prominently displayed in their vehicle so that it is visible from the front of the vehicle.

(a)Issuance. Any person who has been issued an Access Permit will be issued a Vehicle Tag.

(b)Term. A Vehicle Tag is valid only if and for so long as the person's Access Permit is valid. If an expired Access Permit is renewed, the Vehicle Tag becomes valid again upon renewal of the Access Permit.

(c)Use of a Vehicle Tag. The driver's Vehicle Tag must be prominently displayed so that it is visible from the front of the vehicle, typically hanging from the rear view mirror whenever a person is accessing City Property for Recreational Use, except in DUAs and PAAs. Only one Vehicle Tag is required to be displayed if multiple Access Permit holders are visiting Access Permit Areas in the same vehicle. Motorcycle drivers may display a photocopy of their Vehicle Tag on the motorcycle.

(d)Transferability. Vehicle Tags are not transferable to another person but may be used by the permittee on any vehicle.

(e)Replacement. Lost or destroyed Vehicle Tags will be replaced upon the holder's written request to NYCDEP by USPS, electronic mail or the NYCDEP website. Electronically requested replacements may be printed immediately upon NYCDEP's approval, whereas replacements requested by USPS mail will generally be issued within two weeks of receipt of the request.
