BILL NUMBER:S2889A
Title of bill
An act to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to distinctive "Appalachian Trail" license plates
Purpose
Establishes distinctive "Appalachian Trail" license plates.
Summary of provisions
Section 1: The Vehicle and traffic law is amended by adding a new section 404-x to create a distinctive "Appalachian Trail" license plate.
Section 2: Effective Date
Justification
The Appalachian trail is a marked footpath which measures roughly 2,180 miles in length and travels through fourteen states. The Appalachian Trail's southern terminus is located in Georgia, while its northern terminus is in Maine. Approximately 88.4 miles of the trail runs through New York.
There are currently four states which issue special license plates for the Appalachian Trail as a way to support the Appalachian Trail Conservancy. This legislation would create a similar distinctive license plate in New York. These plates will be a great way for New Yorkers to show their appreciation of the Appalachian Trail and Appalachian Trail Conservancy.
