Flynn states DOT position on Intro 113 dangerous driving study
Flynn supports Intro 113's annual study of driving behavior associated with crashes, injuries, and fatalities. He says DOT wants suggested amendments to ensure comprehensive reporting and supports targeted safety strategies.
Next, Intro 113, sponsored by Councilmember Brooks Powers.
This bill would require DOT, in coordination with the police department and other appropriate agencies, to conduct an annual study of driving behavior to determine what behaviors are associated with traffic crashes, injuries, and fatalities.
Our priority is enhancing street safety, which is driven by comprehensive data collection to inform the thoughtful implementation of new initiatives.
By examining our streets, we're able to build safer streets that work to keep more New Yorkers safe while traveling.
We support studies that help the city better understand equitable and targeted safety strategies and look forward to working with council on a few suggested amendments to ensure comprehensive reporting.
