A 5717 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Requires certain buses and trucks to be equipped with commercial GPS devices

This bill requires all buses, omnibuses, and commercial trucks operating on New York's public highways to install specific GPS devices. The devices must let operators input vehicle dimensions (length, width, height, weight) and provide route directions that automatically avoid restricted areas like low bridges, weight-limited roads, one-way streets, and dangerous turns. The GPS must remain operational, mounted for easy access, and meet these requirements at all times. This directly affects commercial vehicle operators and fleet managers by mandating new technology for route planning and safety compliance.
