This bill would require the Office of Operations, in collaboration with the NYPD, the Department of Transportation and other appropriate agencies, to conduct a study of driving behavior to determine what behaviors are associated with traffic crashes, injuries and fatalities. Within one year of the effective date of this law, the Office of Operations would be required to post a report on its website describing the conclusions of the study and its recommendations regarding dangerous driving, and, annually thereafter, report on any interventions undertaken by any agency and any increases or decreases in dangerous driving.

Within one year of the effective date of this section, the office of operations shall submit to the council and post on its official website a report on the indicators of dangerous driving identified by such study and the office of operations’ recommendations for reducing dangerous driving. Each year thereafter, the office of operations shall submit to the council and post on its official website a report on any interventions undertaken by any agency with respect to dangerous driving and any increases or decreases in patterns of dangerous driving in the prior year.
