The NY DMV DS-19 form is the Article 19-A Motor Carrier Accident and Conviction Notification Program Application. It is a mandatory document for motor carriers operating in New York State to establish an escrow account that funds the DMV's process of notifying the carrier whenever one of its drivers is involved in an accident or receives a conviction.
The form integrates a Memorandum of Understanding regarding the Driver's Privacy Protection Act (DPPA), ensuring carriers only access driver records to comply with public safety laws. Carriers must use this form to apply for 19-A status, provide business and contact details, and calculate an initial deposit based on the number of drivers enrolled. This program is a critical component of Article 19-A, which sets safety standards and qualification requirements for bus drivers to enhance road safety.
