Hi, I've heard that I need a decal in order to be able to park my hybrid at a meter for free. How do I acquire this decal? Thanks.
Answer:

Your car must be registered to a New Haven address and you must show proof of residency, please come to the Tax office at 165 Church Street with the above forms to obtain your decal. The tax office phone number 946-8054.

Please read the following to make sure you are eligible: Sec. 29-56. Free on-street parking for hybrid vehicles and other authorized alternative fuel vehicles.
