N.Y. Executive Law § 330: Legislative findings and statement of purpose

§ 330. Legislative findings and statement of purpose. The rising toll

of deaths and injuries resulting from highway accidents is a matter of

state concern. Although the state and local governments presently are

active in virtually all areas of highway safety, no formal mechanism

exists for the integration and coordination of existing safety efforts.

The establishment of a statewide highway safety program, under the

guidance and direction of the governor, will provide this needed

mechanism, and will result in the unification of state and local efforts

in the struggle to reduce highway deaths and injuries.
