The NYC alternate side parking suspension schedule for 2026 covers every holiday, religious observance, and emergency weather event where you don’t need to move your car — and this is the complete list. On suspension days, you do not need to move your car for street cleaning — but that does not mean all parking rules are off.
This is the complete 2026 ASP suspension calendar, verified against the official NYC DOT release. Bookmark this page and check it before every overnight park.
Critical: What a Suspension Does and Does NOT Cover
A suspension lifts the ASP street cleaning restriction only. On suspension days, meters still apply. No Standing zones still apply. Hydrant rules still apply. Fire lane restrictions still apply. A suspension is not a free parking holiday — it only means you do not have to move your car for the street sweeper on that specific day.

Emergency suspensions for snow operations and severe weather are announced separately and not listed here. Always check nyc.gov or 311 for real-time suspension status during weather events.
Emergency and Weather Suspensions
In addition to the holiday calendar above, the city suspends ASP during snow emergencies and major weather events. These are announced on short notice through:
• nyc.gov — official city website
• 311 — call or use the 311 app
• NYC DOT social media accounts
• NYC Emergency Management alerts
During the winter of 2026, ASP was suspended multiple times for snow operations — including a suspension through March 1, 2026 following a major storm. These weather suspensions are separate from the holiday calendar and cannot be predicted in advance.
The rule during any suspension: Even if ASP is suspended, read every other sign on your block. Meters still run. No Standing Anytime zones still apply. Hydrant rules still apply. A suspension only removes the street cleaning restriction — nothing else.
How to Check ASP Status in Real Time
• NYC.gov: Go to nyc.gov and search ‘alternate side parking’ for current day status.
• 311: Call or text 311 — they confirm suspension status instantly.
• SpotAngels app: The SpotAngels app shows real-time ASP status street by street and updates for suspensions automatically.
Never assume a holiday means ASP is suspended. Not every holiday triggers a suspension — only the specific dates listed above. If your holiday is not on this list, ASP is in effect.
The 5-Minute Grace Period
On any day ASP is in effect, the 5-minute grace period applies. No ticket can legally be issued until 5 minutes after the restriction begins. On days when a weather suspension lifts and ASP resumes, the grace period applies from the moment enforcement begins again.
