					 attributable to traffic accidents and have demonstrated a willingness to
					 cooperate with the agencies of State government for the promotion of highway
					 safety.

					 New York, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the
					 Laws of the State of New York, do hereby order as follows:
I. Governor's Advisory Council on Highway

					 council to be known as the Governor's Advisory Council on Highway Safety (the
					 "Council"). The members of the Council shall be appointed by the Governor. The
					 Commissioner of Motor Vehicles shall serve as Chairman of the Council. The

					 reimbursement for any necessary expenses incurred in connection with the
					 performance of their duties.
II. Purpose and Responsibilities of the

The Council shall foster the development of highway and
					 traffic safety training, education and assistance programs in the private
					 sector work force in the State of New York. The Council shall assist and advise
					 the Governor by assessing present efforts in the private sector in the field of
					 highway safety; advising State government agencies on highway safety problems
					 and priorities; seeking innovative approaches to highway safety that might be
					 implemented under private sector auspices; bringing key traffic safety issues
					 to public attention; and encouraging and assisting major employers and other

					 recognizing the need for the State to develop work force planning systems,

					 resource management system, do hereby establish the following:

There is hereby created a work force planning unit to be
					 established within the Governor's Office of Employee Relations. This unit will
					 develop and implement a comprehensive work force planning program which will be

				  State's work force and offer training and retraining opportunities to respond

b.
				  provide information, training, retraining and other resources to State
				  employees which will enhance their opportunities for career mobility and

				  occupations to occupations experiencing growth and technological
				  change;
d. develop appropriate data
				  to assist management in decisions to combine, separate, add, or eliminate
				  programs or services;
e. develop
				  appropriate data to facilitate decisionmaking in the event of future reductions

					 public employee organizations which represent State employees on the
					 implementation and use of the work force planning program.

					 colleges, universities and private institutions in the State shall be utilized
					 in the training and retraining programs established pursuant to this
					 Order.

					 reports to the Governor regarding the development, implementation and progress
