Title 9 Part 296

Any State employee desiring to park in an OGS parking facility in the Albany area must register for such privilege with their agency employer and/or the OGS Bureau of Parking Services. Those State employees outside of the Albany area should contact the OGS building superintendent or the equivalent. A registered State employee must conspicuously display his or her valid permit, tag, and/or decal in the vehicle as directed by the issuing office.

All of the rules in this Subchapter and all of the rules in Subchapter A of Chapter IV of this Subtitle that pertain to vehicle parking, are applicable to State employees parking in OGS paid parking facilities managed by the Bureau of Parking Services.

In OGS paid parking facilities where the demand for parking exceeds the supply of space available, State employees requesting parking privileges will be placed on a waiting list and assigned space when available and in accordance with any agreements with recognized employee organizations.

State employees owning more than one vehicle or operating an assigned State vehicle will be allowed to register all vehicle license numbers for their parking permit at OGS paid parking facilities. Only one vehicle will be allowed entrance by means of the permit on any given day. Registered employee permit holders must properly affix and display and issued tag/decal.

Those employees enjoying privileges at OGS parking facilities are required to notify the attendant at the facility if extended periods (one month or more) of absence from the facility should occur. In accordance with OGS policy, the employee will be responsible for payment of applicable fees during the first six months of absence, except where it results from approved medical leave. Permits will be held by OGS for up to six additional months at no charge to the employee.

All permit holders are required to obey the directions of the OGS parking lot attendant (i.e., to utilize a parking space as directed, etc.).

Completed forms must be returned to the parking lot attendant or to the Bureau of Parking Services. Registration and update forms are available from the OGS website, the bureau's central office or the agency parking coordinator. All forms must be submitted through the bureau's central office.

A permit may not be transferred to a vehicle that is not registered with OGS. Transfer of permits may be made only in accordance with section 296-1.4 of this Subpart.

Unless approval is received from the Bureau of Parking Services, a permit holder may only park in the OGS parking facility to which they have been specifically assigned.

If an employee or visitor is injured or their vehicle is damaged in a State operated parking area, the individual must report the details of the incident on forms available at any parking attendant station, as soon as possible.

In Albany, OGS operates several peripheral parking areas to accommodate the vehicles of State employees. Bus service associated with these State operated peripheral parking lots is intended for permit holders and car pool members only. The parking lot attendant will refuse bus service to anyone who is not a permit holder and/or car pool member for the respective parking lot.

The State of New York does not insure the safety or security of vehicles parked in State operated parking areas and disclaims any responsibility for damage, destruction or theft occasioned by the acts of third persons.

All of the rules in this Subpart and all of the rules in section 302 of Subchapter A of Chapter IV of this Subtitle that pertain to vehicle parking, are applicable to visitor parking in parking facilities managed by the Office of General Services.

All persons entering designated visitor lots or change areas established for evening or weekend usage, who do not possess an appropriate tag/decal authorizing parking without charge, must pay the posted charge, prior to lot entry.

All visitors are required to obey the directions of the OGS parking lot attendant (i.e., to utilize a parking space as directed, etc.).

If a visitor is injured or their vehicle is damaged in a State operated parking area, they must report the details of the incident on forms available at any parking attendant station, as soon as possible. In the event a parking attendant is not on duty the visitor should contact the State Police or local police agency.
