    NEW YORK STATE DMV ENCOURAGES SNOWMOBILE ENTHUSIASTS TO
    REGISTER THEIR RIDES BEFORE THE SEASON BEGINS



    The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) today reminded
    snowmobile riders to avoid the last-minute rush and renew their annual
    registration before the snow flies.  Over the last snowmobile season DMV
    processed nearly 25,000 annual snowmobile registration renewals online through
    its website, dmv.ny.gov.  DMV allows snowmobilers to renew registrations
    directly through the DMV website, or renew by mail, saving a trip to a DMV office.

    "Every snowmobile in New York State is required to be registered annually and
    we want to make this process as simple as possible,” said DMV Executive
    Deputy Commissioner Terri Egan. “The ability for riders to renew their
    snowmobile registrations online is an example of working smarter and more
    efficiently, while at the same time making it more convenient for our customers to
    do business.  We also encourage every snowmobiler to enjoy the coming season
    safely and responsibly.”

    Anyone operating a snowmobile in New York must register the sled in the state
    and obtain a validation sticker.  Upon completing a registration online, riders can
    print a temporary certificate, which is valid for 15 days.  DMV generates a
    permanent registration and mails it to the recipient, along with their validation
    sticker. There is no additional charge for the temporary certificate.  Registration
    renewals can also be performed in a DMV office.

    Snowmobilers must carry registration and proof of insurance documents on their
    person at all times while snowmobiling. Riders must produce the documents at
    the request of any law enforcement officer or magistrate. Additionally, riders must
    produce insurance documentation at the request of anyone who is injured or
    suffers property damage as a result of operation of a snowmobile. Holders of
    snowmobile safety certificates must carry the certificate when they are
    snowmobiling.

    A New York State snowmobile registration costs $45 if a customer is a member of
    a New York State Snowmobile Association (NYSSA) affiliated club.  Members
    must have their member voucher number on hand to process the transaction with
    the NYSSA discount.  Otherwise, the cost is $100.  All but $10 of each
    registration goes to the Snowmobile Trail Development and Maintenance Fund,
    which supports 10,500 miles of public snowmobile trails in New York State,
    snowmobile safety education programs and enforcement of New York State
    snowmobile laws.

    In New York State, young riders from ages 10 to 18 years old are required to
    take a New York State-approved Snowmobile Safety Course and obtain a
    snowmobile safety certificate when riding on public lands.  The course provides
    fundamental information that all snowmobilers should have in order to ensure the
    safety of riders and other trail users.  Riders may also be eligible for savings on
    sled insurance for having a Snowmobile Safety Certificate.  A listing of NYSSA’s
    safety courses, which is updated on a weekly basis during snowmobile season,
    can be found here.

    Dominic Jacangelo, Executive Director of the New York State Snowmobile
    Association, said, “Joining a club and registering your sled could not be easier.  
    Go to www.nysnowmobiler.com to join a club where you ride, and then go to the
    DMV website to register your sled.  It takes ten minutes to do both.  Remember
    that club dues and our snowmobile registration is what supports the 10,500 miles
    of public accessible snowmobile trails in New York.”
