What routes are Special Hauling Permits valid on?
Special Hauling Permits are only valid on routes under NYSDOT jurisdiction, which are basically State highways. NYSDOT permits are not valid on the New York State Thruway or within New York City. The phone number for the NYS Thruways permit office is 518-436-2793, and the phone number for NYCDOTs permit office is 212-839-6341. When traveling on local highways, permitting procedures vary depending on the jurisdiction. Some issue their own Special Hauling Permits, others accept NYSDOT permits. Each municipality must be contacted regarding travel on their highways.
