Improving highway safety: commercial drivers license training for our courts
Commercial Drivers License (CDL) Training for our Courts is available to improve highway safety and public confidence. Funding was made available to New York State to implement a coordinated education and training initiative to improve how courts handle cases involving commercial drivers and impaired driving, as well as improve timely and accurate conviction reporting. The effort combines required online learning with instructor-led, in-person training delivered through regional seminars across the state. Together, these steps are designed to ensure court convictions are accurately recorded, reported on time, and masking of convictions is eliminated, all of which will support safer highways and highway initiatives.
Why special rules apply: CDL holders and public safety
Commercial Driver License (CDL) holders follow special federal and state rules because commercial vehicles pose greater risks on the road. Attention and recognition of identified violations of law need to be recognized to ensure accurate court processing, and timely reporting of CDL convictions help to enforce these critical regulations. This training helps ensure our courts are equipped to handle these cases with the precision and speed required to maintain public safety and confidence.
