“In New York City telling someone you run “parking” is like a badge of infamy. Yet, here I am, with oversight of the largest metered parking system in the world, influencing and programing the functionality of the curb that is as varied as the inhabitants of residents. Yet, after nearly two decades at the NYCDOT and serving in a myriad of planning, policy and administrative roles, there is no other position I would rather be in. My IPMI experience has provided me with the tools, resources, connections, and experiences that have allowed me to shape my city as well as impart my experiences to others.” —David Stein

Running a parking and mobility program in New York City is no small feat. New York City is exceptional, as are the people that make the Big Apple work! David Stein is the Director of Parking Planning and Policy for the New York City (NYC) Department of Transportation. With a wide-ranging portfolio of projects and responsibilities, Stein blends policy, operations, and innovation in managing NYC’s metered curb, with oversight of over 14,500 parking meters, 85,000+ parking spaces and more than 20,000 authorized use spaces. In this role, David has focused on the development and implementation of new and innovative solutions to improve the overall management and efficiency of commercial and retail areas across NYC. This includes new pricing and regulatory strategies, the launch of new and emerging technologies and helping shape the curb and street performance in the post-COVID public realm. 

With over two decades of service at NYCDOT, Stein has served in various managerial capacities across the agency and been at the forefront of many public facing and transformative street management programs as well as demonstrating a long history of collaborative efforts within DOT and agencies across the City. 

The projects, programs, and pilots Stein and his team implemented in NYC—especially in response to the pandemic and recovery—influenced and shaped best practices and innovation for so many other cities across the country. Stein has been gracious with his time, talents, and expertise, and has had a tremendous impact in the world of parking and mobility. We congratulate him on this outstanding recognition!

“Hockey dad extraordinaire and family man comes to mind when I think of David Stein. So does a passionate parking professional who has mentored and guided countless peers to keep innovating and pushing our industry forward. I can think of no one more fitting to be honored with the IPMI Chair Award for his tireless work for our great industry.”
