Motorists looking to avoid holiday gridlock will be in luck Wednesday.
The New York City Department of Transportation announced a program to alleviate congestion during "gridlock alert days," which includes a giveaway at Shea Stadium of a total of 350 round-trip $4 Metro Cards.
The cards are free for commuters who park at Shea Stadium and use mass transit to get to Manhattan on Dec. 20, Dec. 27 and Jan. 3, 2007, and will be given away by NYC-DOT staff.
Those days are considered high-risk traffic days because of matinees and proximity to holiday travel times.
The cards were donated by the International Gemological Institute, a diamond appraiser, to the Mayor's Fund to Advance New York City.
The giveaway will take place at the Shea Stadium parking lot entrance at Roosevelt Avenue between 114th and 126th Streets Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
