Pedestrian Safety

Pedestrian Safety Initiatives Taking Action on Pedestrian Safety

New York State has invested more than $110 million to make streets safer for pedestrians across Upstate New York and Long Island. Everyone is a pedestrian, whether you’re strolling along a shared-use path, walking down the street, or crossing a parking lot. Keeping pedestrians safe is everyone’s responsibility.
