Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano today announced the introduction of designated Veterans Parking spaces at select Yonkers Parking Authority (YPA) facilities, providing additional convenience and recognition for the men and women who served in the Armed Forces.
“In Yonkers, we have an obligation to recognize and honor the men and women who have worn our nation’s uniform and sacrificed so much to protect our freedoms,” said Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano. “These designated parking spaces are a small but meaningful gesture to show our appreciation for their service and make everyday life a little more convenient for our veterans. We encourage all eligible veterans to apply and take advantage of this initiative.”
Under the new initiative, five designated Veterans Parking spaces will be made available at the following locations:
- Government Center Garage – two spaces at 118 New Main St., Nepperhan Ave.
- Buena Vista Garage – two spaces at 8 Buena Vista Ave.
- Robert W. Cacace Justice Center Parking Lot – one space at 104 S. Broadway
Veterans interested in utilizing these designated spaces must complete an application through the Yonkers Parking Authority available at www.yonkersparkingauthority.com.
Applicants will be required to submit the following documentation:
- A copy of their valid driver’s license
- A copy of their vehicle registration
- Proof of veteran status
Applicants must visit YPA office at 8 Buena Vista Avenue with the completed application and the appropriate documentation. Upon approval, eligible veterans will receive an identification sticker issued by the Yonkers Parking Authority, which must be displayed in their vehicle when using a designated Veterans Parking space.
