Safety Advisory Working Group

In April 2000, NYMTC established the Safety Advisory Working Group (SAWG) to facilitate interagency discussion, exchange information, address safety and advise its members on issues dealing with transportation safety. SAWG is also tasked with assuring that safety planning is considered in NYMTC's metropolitan transportation planning process.

Regional Pedestrian Safety Study

SAWG has identified pedestrian safety as a leading topic of interagency concern and therefore focused on this issue.

The Working Group recommended that NYMTC set aside planning funds for a Regional Pedestrian Study to determine the status of pedestrian safety and the related investment needs in the region. This study identifies pedestrian safety issues and recommends measures to improve pedestrian safety in the region. The results of the study were incorporated into the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP).
