Fort Lee Information

The Fort Lee Parking Authority is a statutory parking agency, established in 1954 by the Fort Lee Mayor and Council under N.J.S. 40:11A. The Borough then had a population of approximately 16,000, as compared to the present population estimated at 38,000. The Parking Authority started with five Commissioners. Today, the Parking Authority is involved not only in parking, but over the years at the request of Borough Councils also agreed to provide bus transportation to seniors; non-emergency medical transportation; a main street shuttle for everyone, and a ferry shuttle service; developing and operating a Residential Parking Program; and administering the Borough Street Sweeping Program. Further, it established small off-street parking lots, handicap parking spaces, and is an integral part of the Borough's Emergency Management Team. All of its services are provided to benefit Fort Lee's residents and businesses. The Fort Lee Parking Authority Offices are located directly behind Fort Lee Borough Hall in the rear parking lot. Enter through Guntzer Street at the intersection of Center Avenue. Free one-hour and 15-minute parking is available at that location. In the event that the free spaces are full, metered parking is also available in front of Borough Hall and the Guntzer Municipal Parking Lot. Office hours are Monday 8:30am - 8:00 pm and Tuesday through Friday 8:30 am - 4:00 pm.
