A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to requiring the department of transportation to consider placement of traffic enforcement agents in developing an interagency roadway safety plan

Local Law 12 of 2011 requires the Department of Transportation (“DOT”) to develop an interagency plan to improve roadway safety and reduce incidents of traffic injuries and fatalities. The plan must be updated every five years and submitted to the Mayor and the Council. The proposed legislation would require DOT to specifically consider placement of traffic enforcement agents in certain areas in developing suggestions as part of the interagency roadway safety plan.
