ASP Today? is the fastest way to know whether Alternate Side Parking is in effect in NYC today. That’s it. That’s the app. If you park on the street in New York City, you know the daily question: “Is ASP in effect today, or is it suspended because of a holiday, weather, or something else?” ASP Today? answers that question quickly, clearly, and without making you dig through city websites. Open the app for a simple yes-or-no status, or add the widget to your Home Screen or Lock Screen so the answer is always right there. What ASP Today? does: - Shows whether Alternate Side Parking is in effect today - Shows whether ASP is expected to be in effect tomorrow - Updates regularly using city-provided information - Works with iOS widgets for quick at-a-glance status - Keeps the experience simple, fast, and focused What ASP Today? is not: - ASP Today? is not a full parking calendar, ticket lookup tool, map, or 311 replacement. It is built for one specific question: “Do I need to move my car for street cleaning today?” For full parking rules, signage, official calendars, and city services, please refer to NYC 311 and posted street signs. ASP Today? is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the City of New York or any government agency.
