Know the Facts
It is imperative for us to understand the shared responsibility we all have in reducing Commercial Motor Vehicle crashes. This is especially true as the motor carrier industry continues to grow to deliver the bulk of the consumer goods here in NYS. The trucking industry plays a pivotal role in New York State’s economy providing more than 275,000 jobs.

According to the Institute for Traffic Safety and Management Research (ITSMR), there were a total of 12,838 crashes involving large trucks in 2017.  A total of 4,096 (32%) of these crashes resulted in some type of personal injury and 93 of these crashes (.72%) resulted in one or more fatalities. Fatal & Personal Injury (F&PI) crashes involving large trucks are more likely to involve multiple vehicles (87%) than other F&PI crashes (70%).

 
New Penalties for Commercial Vehicles on Parkways and Over Height Vehicles
Effective September 3, 2020 new fines and penalties for commercial vehicles on parkways and over height vehicles go into effect. 
Penalties for commercial vehicles on parkways are broken down by weight class: less than 10,000 pounds; between 10,000 pounds and 26,000 pounds; and over 26,000 pounds. The maximum fines and penalties are as follows:
Less than 10,000 pounds: 
First violation - $250 and/or 15 days in jail

Moose - NYSDEC
For more information on moose management and to view DEC's "Moose Response Manual", visit the "Moose Management" page.Moose-related LegislationEffective July 6, 1999, the New York State Legislature amended section 11-0915 of the ECL concerning the disposition of moose carcasses resulting from vehicle collisions. It allows people who accidentally kill moose with a motor vehicle that has been damaged in the process to obtain a permit from a law enforcement officer to keep the carcass. Should the motorist decline the opportunity, the officer may issue a permit to another party.DEC Collecting Public Sightings of MooseDEC and its research partners are also seeking information from the public regarding moose sightings to provide data for this study. If you have seen a moose please complete and submit a moose sighting report (leaves DEC website).View the Public Moose Sightings by Town 2014-2022 Map (PDF) to see where the highest concentrations of moose are in New York State.Submit Your Photos of NY MooseAttention Wildlife Shutterbugs!Do you have a New York State moose captured on film or digital media that you would like to share? DEC has created a Moose Photo Gallery for this majestic icon of the North Woods.

Truck Chain Requirements | Caltrans
California does not have any specific dates when vehicles are required to carry chains. When the road is posted with a sign requiring chains, all heavy-duty vehicles (over 6,500 pounds gross weight) must be equipped with chains mounted on the tires in order to proceed. Depending on the severity of road conditions, some vehicles (passenger cars, 4-wheel drive vehicles with snow tires) may not be required to install chains at that point. The exceptions will be posted on the sign.
What are tire traction devices?
Tire traction devices are defined in the California Vehicle Code (VC) Section 605 as “devices or mechanisms having a composition and design capable of improving vehicle traction, braking, and cornering ability upon snow or ice-covered surfaces,” and include conventional link-type tire chains and cable chains, as well as other less conventional devices such as “Spikes Spyder.” When the term “chains” is used here, it means any “tire traction device” unless it specifically states link-type chain.
What are Automatic Traction Devices (A.T.D.'s) and are they legal in California?
Automatic Traction Devices (A.T.D.'s) are used primarily on commercial vehicles, emergency vehicles, and busses. ATD's are devices mounted under the vehicle that sling chain segments under the inside drive wheels. These devices can be deployed by the driver when the need for extra traction is required. While they are legal in California and have been approved as a direct one-on-one replacement for conventional chains, vehicles with only ATD's may be required to add additional chains to outside wheels to comply with the California Chain Requirements Chart.
Diagrams illustrating chain placement: Chain Requirements (PDF) .
Are combinations consisting of a 2-axle tractor (single drive axle) and double trailers prohibited from chain control areas?
There are some areas where such combinations are prohibited when chain controls are posted. These routes are marked with posted signs indicating the restriction.
Are chains required on the inside “duals” on 2-axle vehicles (trucks, buses, RVs, etc.)?
Not usually, but under severe conditions, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) may require chains on the inside duals if conditions warrant.

Frequently Asked Questions | California Air Resources Board
Please contact CARB SIMW component certification staff for additional details.Do metal tanks need to be certified as meeting permeation emission standards?permalinkNo, per 13 CCR section 2866, metal tanks are exempt from certification and do not need to obtain a Component Executive Order of Certification.Can test results from the smallest fuel tank in a family be used to certify larger tank sizes of the same family if the smallest tanks meets the criteria of worst case?permalinkYes, per TP-1504, Test Procedures for Determining Permeation Emissions from Installed Marine Fuel Tanks, Marine Fuel Hoses and Marine Fuel Caps, the fuel tank may be tested as long as it has a standardized (representative) geometry that it is made of the same material(s) and appropriate wall thickness.How is the worst case configuration determined for fuel tank permeation emissions?permalinkThe fuel tank with the minimum volume to internal surface area ratio may be tested to represent the fuel tank family. Test results for the worst case of a fuel tank family may be used to certify all tank sizes in that family.If a boat has two fuel tanks and has a T fitting to the engine, does the hose running from the T fitting to the engine need to be certified? permalinkYes, all fuel hoses that connect from the watercraft fuel tank to the first attachment point on the marine engine will need to be certified. This rule applies even with outboard marine engines that are installed by someone other than the watercraft manufacturer (dealer, service company, owner, etc.).Which fuel hose(s) used in the watercraft’s fuel system must meet the hose permeation standard and have a component EO for California?permalinkAccording to §2853(a)(16), all fuel hoses from the watercraft fuel tank to the first attachment point on the marine engine must to be certified.
2024 Public Comments to Preliminary Applications
In addition to the route markers and the FoJ maps, the BLM has joined with OHMVR, FoJ, and the Transition Habitat Conservancy (THC) to place kiosks with large format maps that promote BLM routes on private property in the area. With signs on private property, maps that show routes on private property, an iPhone app that shows routes on private property, and kiosks with large format maps that show routes on private property, the BLM has designated across hundreds of thousands of acres of private property and has extensively promoted off-highway motor vehicle recreation on private property. Obviously that implies that the BLM, OHMVR, FoJ, and THC bear responsibility for the suitability of private property for OHV activity. I have noted that the BLM has no liability for OHV accidents on its own property under PRC §5090.38. But when the BLM and other entities designate private property for off-highway motor vehicle recreation, PRC §5090.38 is inapplicable, because it only protects the property owner. The statute states that "[n]o owner or other person having legal control of property in the vicinity of any lands in the system is liable for any actions of any type resulting from, or caused by, the user of an off-highway motor vehicle." The BLM is not an "other person having legal control" of private property. In Termini v. United States of America the USFS based its defense on Cal. Civil Code §846. That statute states that a landowner "owes no duty of care to keep the premises safe for entry or use by others for any recreational purpose or to give any warning of hazardous conditions, uses of, structures, or activities on such premises to persons entering for such purpose, except as provided in this section." This statute has been used frequently by government agencies to protect the agencies against liability claims by recreational users of government land. Most often, the defense is successful. As with PRC §5090.38, this defense will be unavailable to the BLM for accidents that occur on private property, where the BLM has designated that private property for off-highway motor vehicle recreation, since the BLM is not the landowner, and the statute only immunizes the landowner.
