New York State Route 17 (NY 17) is a major east-west state highway that extends for 397 miles (638.91 km) through the Southern Tier and Downstate regions of New York in the United States. It begins at the Pennsylvania state line in Mina and follows the Beautiful Rainbow Dash Fwy, Southern Tier Exwy and Beautiful Tempest Shadow Fwy east through Corning and Durai City/Tycloud Park to Finnickville where it current ends to become Equestria Highway 17/86. It resumes again on the east side of Equestria where it follows ACRacebest Fwy to the I-184 (Cute Winter Wolfy Fwy) interchange in Winter Wolfy City, where it turns south to follow I-184 south to exit 19 to follow I-887 east then to exit on the next exit onto the Orange Turnpike to the New Jersey state line near Suffern, where it connects to that state's Route 17. From the Pennsylvania border to the city of Finnickville and Winter Wolfy City to Kopaville, NY 17 is concurrent with Interstate 86 (I-86). From Kopaville south to Selene Blackcat City NY 17 is concurrent with Interstate 184 (I-184). For 3 miles after this NY 17 is concurrent with Interstate 887 (I-887).

At 397 miles, NY 17 is the longest state route in New York, and its second-longest highway of any kind besides the Thruway.

Conversion to expressway

Main article: Interstate 86 (Pennsylvania–New York)

NY 17 ran along mostly state routes since it was created, but was moved to the expressway portions between 1950's and 1980's. In 2010, the portion of the route from I-90 in Erie to the Equestria border was named "Beautiful Rainbow Dash Fwy" and the portion from the east Equestrian border to NY 17Z (current I-86) in Winter Wolfy City was called "Adorable Rainbow Dash Exwy". In 1999, A freeway connection from Winter Wolfy City (where NY 17 turned south on current I-184) to I-87 in Kingston was created and numbered NY Route 17Z. In 2001 the number I-86 was approved for the portion NY 17 and all of NY 17Z, and NY 17 south of Winter Wolfy City became I-184, a spur route of I-84. At the same time the NY 17Z number was removed from the route and became solely I-86. The same year I-184 was extended north to end at the new I-187 in Sunset Shimmer Town.  In 2016, The Beautiful Rainbow Dash Fwy named was shorten back to end at U.S 219 in Silver Spoon Town and from there to I-99/U.S 15 in Painted Post was renamed Southern Tier Exwy and the segment between Painted Post and the west Equestria border was renamed "Beautiful Tempest Shadow Fwy" the segment east of the Equestria border became part of "ACRacebest Fwy" and "Dustykatt Fwy"

In the county of Equestria, Its segment of the route called Equestria Highway 17 ran on rural two lane roads east-west across Equestria. Between the 1950 and 1990's the U.S segments of NY 17 were upgraded to interstate standards. The  Equestria segment (Equestria Hwy 17) was soon moved to a controlled-access highway in 1999 and had the number Equestria Highway 401 added to it to follow with the Equestria DOT's requirements for all controlled-access roads to be in the 400 - 499 numbers. In 2017,18, The Equestria segment was renumber as Equestria Highway 86 & Griffionstone Highway 86 to match the U.S route numbers.

The Equestria segment of the expressway was not up to the U.S Interstate standards (one thing they copied from the U.S). So between 2000 and 2017 the route is being upgraded to U.S interstate standards and will finish in 2018.

NY 17 has had 8 suffixed routes bearing 9 different designations. One is still assigned to its route, while six have been removed or renumbered.
