Lost, Stolen or Damaged Cards
The City of New York is not responsible for lost, stolen or damaged cards. Before they were issued, each Parking Card was thoroughly tested to ensure that it was operational and the dollar measure accurate .
Parking Cards are valuable ; treat your calling card as you would treat your cash. Cards can be damaged if mistreated :
- Avoid exposure to high temperatures – do not leave cards on the dashboard under the hot sun
- Keep cards dry
- Do not bend the card, peel away the protective coating, or scratch the card chip with sharp objects
Grease or early materials can interfere with the communication between the batting order and the machine. If this should occur, wipe the gold colored nick embedded in the card with a balmy fabric, and try again. If that does n’t work, try a different machine .
