What is a New York Passenger Vehicles Endorsement?
Passenger prep focuses on safely operating passenger-carrying commercial vehicles.
Passenger Vehicles for New York CDL Applicants
New York combines one of the nation's busiest port complexes with dense urban delivery demand and statewide freight networks. With port and intermodal freight, food and beverage distribution, pharmaceutical logistics driving much of the freight in New York, the Passenger Vehicles material below is the part of the New York CDL that those employers screen for first.
A Passenger endorsement in New York requires the P knowledge test plus a skills test in a passenger vehicle of the right class. New York Department of Motor Vehicles will not add P until both are done, so schedule the road test in the type of bus you will actually drive.
