This bill would require the Department of Transportation (DOT), in collaboration 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. DOT would be required to post a report on its website describing the conclusions of the study and its recommendations regarding dangerous driving, and report on any interventions undertaken by any agency and any increases or decreases in dangerous driving.

Protected bicycle lanes have been proven to increase cycling and ensure the safety of New Yorkers who depend on cycling for commuting, work, and pleasure. This bill would require the Department of Transportation to increase the pace at which it installs protected bicycle lanes to 100 miles per year for the next six years, providing safe infrastructure for an environmentally friendly transportation method.

This bill would require the Commissioner of Transportation to establish a 2-year low traffic neighborhood pilot program to direct traffic away from residential areas. The program would involve installation of at least 2 traffic calming devices in 5 neighborhood tabulation areas across at least 3 boroughs. The Commissioner must solicit input regarding installation from all community boards in the neighborhood tabulation areas. Also, the Commissioner would have to study, in part, the number of vehicular crashes and noise levels in the neighborhood tabulation areas, and make recommendations regarding device maintenance and installation of additional devices for the purpose of directing traffic away from residential areas. The Commissioner must report to the Mayor and Speaker of the Council, and post online, the study findings and recommendations and other program information, such as the criteria to determine the locations of device installation and the actual locations of installation.

This bill would require 1 or more agencies designated by the Mayor to establish a demonstration program that would mandate each owner of a motor vehicle that has been used to commit 16 speeding violations in school speed zones over 12 months to install and maintain an intelligent speed assistance (“ISA”) device in every motor vehicle they own. Such device restricts a vehicle’s speed based on the speed limit but allows for the manual override of such restrictions where necessary. The owner would have to install ISA devices in their vehicles for a period of 12 months, or longer in certain circumstances. Owners that fail to install an ISA device could face penalties or a suspension or a revocation of their vehicle registration. The bill would prohibit data collected by ISA devices from being used for outside purposes and would require such data to be destroyed after the installation period ends. The agency would be required to issue a report about the demonstration program.
