DMV Uniform Ticket for Parks and Navigation Law Violations<br />
Contributed by Stephen P. Lewis<br />
Director of Snowmobiling<br />
518 - 474 - 0446<br />
The Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP) Commissioner Order signed July 30,<br />
2008 authorizes the use of the DMV Uniform Ticket for all appropriate Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation<br />
Law (PRHPL) and Navigation Law violations. As a result of this order, OPRHP will no longer print, and law enforcement<br />
agencies will not be obligated to use, the separate and duplicative OPRHP Uniform Ticket.<br />
The DMV Uniform Ticket is equivalent to and satisfies the requirements of the uniform appearance<br />
ticket/simplified information form required for traffic infractions and violations of the PRHPL, Navigation Law, articles<br />
47 and 48 of the Vehicle and Traffic Law (VTL), and local laws, ordinances and regulations.<br />
Cross-Border Snowmobile Trails Designation<br />
According to PRHPL § 25.04 and VTL §2222(12), a cross-border trail is a snowmobile trail which proceeds<br />
along a New York State border and which, occasionally as dictated by terrain, crosses into another state. Once a<br />
trail has been designated as a cross-border trail, snowmobiles owned by nonresidents may proceed on the crossborder<br />
trail without a New York State registration.<br />
The OPRHP Commissioner Order signed August 5, 2008 designates the following trail as a New York-<br />
Vermont cross-border trail:<br />
The cross- border trail starts in Salem, New York on Snowmobile Corridor Trail C9 and extends north into Rupert,<br />
Vermont. Trail C9 then enters back into New York from Pawlet, Vermont at Trail Junction WS17C in the Town of<br />
Granville and continues through the Village of Granville. Route marker signs will direct snowmobilers to continue<br />
north on Trails C9 or S42 or S42A depending upon trail conditions. Trails S42 and S42A re-connect with Trail C9 at<br />
Trail Junction WS44. Trail C9 then travels north to connect with Trail C4 at Trail Junction WS13C. Trail C4 then reenters<br />
Vermont heading towards Poultney. These trails are delineated on the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic<br />
Preservation’s Map entitled “Washington County Snowmobile Trails” that is updated annually and available<br />
from the Agency.<br />
