Lindenhurst, New York – Today, seeking to incentivize energy efficient transportation choices and promote fuel conservation, Legislator Wayne Horsley (D-Babylon) announced legislation to designate “hybrid-only” parking spaces at county office buildings and county owned and operated facilities.  The proposal introduced by Horsley is entitled The Green Spaces Initiative.  The accompanying legislation directs the Commissioner of Public Works to designate a minimum of 5% of parking spaces at all County facilities for the exclusive use of parking by the owner/operators of hybrid vehicles.
