2021 New York Laws EXC - Executive Article 16-A - Highway Safety 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.
