A 5217 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to dimensions and weights of vehicles

This bill updates New York's vehicle weight limits for commercial trucks. It sets maximum weights based on axle count and wheelbase using a new formula (W = 500((LxN)/(N-1) + 12N + 36)), which applies to most trucks. Trucks fueled primarily by natural gas may weigh up to 82,000 pounds (instead of 80,000), while fire vehicles are exempt. The rule affects commercial truck operators hauling goods, with specific weight caps depending on vehicle configuration and weight class.
