纽约州加入联邦Even Exchange计划：军人免笔试凭军中经验申领商用驾照
纽约州州长 Kathy Hochul 11月11日宣布，纽约州加入美国交通部的 Even Exchange 计划：在军中受训操作重型装备与机械的合格现役军人与退伍军人，可凭军中经验证明知识资格，免去州机动车辆管理局（DMV）的书面许可考试，申领商用驾照（CDL）。
该计划与现行的军人技能考试豁免（Military Skills Test Waiver）并行，后者可豁免路考。州长办公室数据称，全国已有 4 万多人使用该豁免，其中纽约州居民超过 3,100 人。

New York Joins Federal 'Even Exchange' Program: Service Members Can Skip Written Test for Commercial Driver Licenses
New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced on November 11 that New York has joined the U.S. Department of Transportation's Even Exchange program, under which qualified active-duty service members and veterans trained to operate heavy equipment and machinery in the military can use that experience to demonstrate the knowledge required for a Commercial Driver License (CDL), bypassing the DMV written permit test.
The program works alongside the existing Military Skills Test Waiver, which can waive the road skills test. According to the governor's office, more than 40,000 people nationwide have used that waiver, including more than 3,100 New Yorkers.
With both pathways in place, military heavy-vehicle training can translate more directly into civilian trucking qualifications, helping veterans enter the commercial driving workforce. (Source: Office of the Governor of New York)
