Governor Cuomo Announces Statewide Effort to Prevent Speeding

Speed Awareness Week runs through August 8th!

Governor Andrew M. Cuomo just announced that New York State Police and local law enforcement will be increasing patrols to target speeding through August 8. According to preliminary data from the Institute for Traffic Safety Management and Research at the University at Albany's Rockefeller College, unsafe speed was a contributing factor in 314 fatal crashes in 2020, compared to 230 fatal crashes in 2019 - a 36 percent increase. The 314 fatal crashes last year resulted in 365 deaths including drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians.

The message is simple: slow down and drive responsibly!
