About this data

The largest concentration is in Bronx: 7 of 159 (4%). Other cities covered include Buffalo (5), Brooklyn (4), Canton (3), Jamaica (3), South Richmond Hill (3), and 115 more.

By county, the 159 entries fall across 47 counties; the largest are Queens (14), St. Lawrence (10), Suffolk (9), Erie (8).

These 159 entries come from a register that publishes no registration dates at all. They were on the register when it was last refreshed, on September 22, 2026.

All 159 hold the same class of registration: FMCSA-registered ELDT training provider.

148 of the 159 (93%) hold more than one class of registration. Across this page the classes held include Class B (154), Passenger (118), School Bus (111), Class A (88), Hazardous Materials (48).

By what they actually deliver: 155 offer behind-the-wheel training on public roads, 155 offer behind-the-wheel training on a range and 141 offer classroom or online theory instruction. 155 of the 159 can deliver both the range and the public-road portions, which matters because 49 CFR 380.707(c) allows the theory and behind-the-wheel portions to come from different providers but requires both behind-the-wheel portions to come from the same one. 4 offer theory only, so a trainee using one of them needs a second provider for the driving half.

139 of 159 publish a phone number and 93 have a website.

The Training Provider Registry publishes a phone number and a website for some providers and not for others, so the coverage below varies by place.

21 of the 159 entries could not be placed on a map: the register gives a PO box, a bare route number or a road junction rather than a street address, and 21 of those are currently on the register. They are listed and searchable here by name, city and county, but not on the map.

68 of the 159 have a Google rating, averaging 4.3 across 10316 reviews. Scores run from 1.0 to 5.0.

New York ranks 5th of the 49 states covered in this category, holding 4% of the listings, ahead of 44 others.

Every record on this page comes from Training Provider Registry, published by Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration on tpr.fmcsa.dot.gov as dataset training-provider-registry.

What the rules require

New York: questions

Which cities in New York have schools?
By count: Bronx (7), Buffalo (5), Brooklyn (4), Canton (3), Jamaica (3), South Richmond Hill (3), Syracuse (3), Albany (2), Bohemia (2), Hudson (2), plus 111 more. Addresses, registration class and, where the register publishes them, registration dates are in the list above.
Are these schools currently licensed?
The state register these records come from publishes no registration dates. Each of these 159 facilities appeared in the register when it was last refreshed, on September 22, 2026. Confirm the current position with the facility or the issuing authority before relying on it.
Why does one address hold several licenses?
Because a row in the source register is a registration, not a business. 148 of the 159 entries on this page hold more than one class of registration at the same address. They are merged into a single entry here, keyed on the place rather than on the registration, so one business is one listing and every class it holds is shown in its record detail.
Which of these can do the behind-the-wheel training?
155 of the 159 are registered for both the range and the public-road portions. 4 offer theory only. The distinction matters: 49 CFR 380.707(c) permits the theory and behind-the-wheel portions to be delivered by separate providers, but requires both behind-the-wheel portions, range and public road, to come from the same provider. Breakdown here: behind-the-wheel public-road training 155, behind-the-wheel range training 155, theory instruction 141.
How many are rated?
68 of 159 have a Google rating, averaging 4.3 across 10316 reviews.
Why are some entries missing from the map?
21 of these 159 records give a PO box, a bare route number or a road junction instead of a street address, so no coordinate could be derived for them. They are still listed and searchable by name, city and county, and they are left out of the map and the "nearest to me" results. Placing a PO box at a plausible-looking point would make the map look complete and be wrong.
