Attention: Below is a public service announcement from New York City Emergency Management.
Due to a State of Emergency for severe winter weather, all non-essential vehicles are prohibited from operating on NYC streets, highways, and bridges from 9:00 PM Sunday (2/22) until 12:00 PM Monday (2/23).
This travel ban is in place to protect public safety, keep roads clear for snow removal, and allow emergency crews to respond quickly during dangerous conditions. Only authorized and exempt vehicles should be on the road, including emergency response organizations, government vehicles, utility crews, essential worker transportation, medical transport, and vehicles delivering food, fuel, and medical supplies. Nonprofit and private organizations providing emergency relief services may also continue critical operations.
Public schools will be closed Monday. Alternate Side Parking is suspended Monday to allow snow removal operations to continue.
City agencies are activating emergency operations across New York City to support residents, maintain essential services, and manage storm impacts. Alternate side parking rules are suspended to support snow clearing and operations. Price gouging protections are also in effect during the emergency declaration.
For you and your family’s safety, avoid travel unless it is an emergency. Get alerts and updates by texting NOTIFYNYC to 692-692.
