Attention New York & New Jersey Residents
CITY MD is now offering VIRTUAL CHECK-INS!
City MD has created a Virtual Line System, that allows you to check in virtually!
How it works:
- You must go to the City MD of your choice and sign up at the desk, they will take down your Name and Cell Phone Number and they will call you when they’re ready for you due to the high volume of patients.
- You can wait in your car, or at home.
- When you’re called, you have up to 30 minutes to come back into the building for your Covid-19 testing. (Your wait for a call back could take several hours)
Anyone going for non Covid-19 reasons are prioritized and do not need to wait virtually.
Please Note: If you came for another reason, but also wanted a Covid-19 test, you would have to schedule a separate appointment for another day.

EXPIRED! Medical Cards and CDL waiver have been extended by the FMCSA
FMCSA Grants Extension of CDL/CLP/Medical Certificates Waiver
This week, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) extended the CDL/CLP/Medical Certificates waiver that was set to expire on Dec. 31. FMCSA recognizes that backlogs remain at State Driver’s License Agencies (SDLA) across the country. In addition, the Agency noted a resurgence of stay-at-home orders and other emergency measures that may cause further economic and logistical disruptions.
This waiver becomes effective on Jan. 1, 2021 and expires on Feb. 28, 2021. It is important to note that the waiver provides states with the authority to extend expiration dates but it is up to the state to do so. TANY will work with the Governor’s office and the NYS Department of Motor Vehicles to extend compliance dates in New York in accordance with the federal waiver.

New York State Compliance Info
Are you Receiving a Standard Carrier Alpha Code
(SCAC) Renewal Notice?
They Expire Yearly on June 30th
Do you need a SCAC Code?
- Private Carriers DO NOT need SCAC codes.
- SCAC Codes are Regulations for Trucks Crossing the Border
What is a SCAC Code? Do you Qualify?
The Standard Carrier Alpha Code (SCAC) is a system that assigns unique two-to-four letter codes to transportation companies for identification purposes. The National Motor Freight Traffic Association (NMFTA) developed the SCAC identification codes in the late 1960s to facilitate computerization in the transportation industry. It is for Customs entry, when doing business with many shippers, on rate tariffs filed with regulatory agencies, government bills of lading and on bids for government traffic.
Questioning why You received a SCAC Code Renewal Notice?
If it is from the National Motor Freight Traffic Association, it is valid. Be careful, if it is not, it could be a SCAM! It is possible that a SCAC code was gotten at one-point in time last year, either because of crossing the border or maybe someone in the company applied for it not knowing that they did not really need it.
~The more you know~
Not all motor carriers are required to possess a SCAC code, and the DOT, or any other government agency, will not shut down or fine a carrier simply because the motor carrier is not in possession of a SCAC code. There are no regulations requiring compliance with SCAC documentation and registration.
