Transporter

The New York DMV holds 1,354 current licences of this kind — 3.3% of every DMV facility licence in the state, under the code TRS.

What it allows

A transporter is a licence to move vehicles, including towing, without repairing or selling them.

The code on the Department’s record is TRS. Codes matter here more than they usually do, because three of them are inspection stations and only one of the three serves the public. The difference, in plain words.

Where they are

What these facilities also do

A DMV facility number can carry several licences at once, and 0 of the 1,354 facilities holding a transporter licence carry more than one — 0.0%. That is the part a one-licence-at-a-time lookup hides: the same garage may repair, inspect and sell, and each of those is a separate entry in the Department’s file.

Search any facility number on this site and you get all of its licences together, current and expired. The facilities that hold the most.
