Section 6.17 - Conviction and Accident Notification Program

(a) A motor carrier shall participate in the Conviction and Accident Notification Program which will notify such carrier of any conviction or accident resulting from operation of a motor vehicle in New York as well as certain other out-of-state convictions by a bus driver employed by the motor carrier.

(b) To participate in such program a motor carrier must write to the BDU which will provide the carrier with an application for entry into the program and advise the carrier concerning the amount of money such carrier will have to place in escrow with the department to establish and maintain an escrow account.

(c) The department reserves the right to increase the minimum escrow balance for a carrier if it becomes evident after a reasonable period of time that the escrow balance is insufficient to cover the average amount of notices generated to such a carrier by the department.

(d) The department will provide a monthly statement noting the escrow balance and amount of money necessary to replenish such minimum escrow balance, unless there has been no activity for a period of three months.
