Learn more about the CLEAR initiative on Monday, Sept. 29
The City of Hoboken’s Department of Transportation and Parking will host a pop-up education event on Monday, Sept. 29, from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. on the northeast corner of Washington and Third Streets.
During the event, staff members will be available to answer questions about the new CLEAR program, which is a Vision Zero initiative that aims to improve safety, reduce illegal parking, improve access to loading zones for businesses, and ease traffic congestion along Washington Street.
CLEAR stands for Camera-based License plate Enforcement for Access & Response times. The program is designed to address issues such as unsafe and illegal double parking in bike lanes, parking violations in bus stops, and the improper or prolonged use of loading zones.
By clearing blocked travel lanes and improving intersection visibility, CLEAR seeks to protect all road users, including pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers.
Starting on Oct. 1, cameras will capture images of vehicles parked illegally along Washington Street between Observer Highway and Eighth Street. These images will be reviewed by staff at the Hoboken Parking Utility, and if a violation is confirmed, a citation will be mailed to the registered vehicle owner. According to recent data, only about 6% of violations involve residential parking permit holders, meaning the program should not significantly impact those with valid residential parking permits.
