NYPD and transportation officials announced Friday new efforts to keep NYC motorcyclists safe, including beefed up law enforcement.
As warmer weather approaches and more motorists take to the road, NYC officials announced new efforts to keep motorcyclists NYC Department of Transportation Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez and NYPD Transportation Chief Philip P. Rivera held a press conference at One Police Plaza in Manhattan on Friday to announce the efforts, which include new training programs, greater public awareness and expanded law enforcement as part of the city’s Vision Zero strategy to combat traffic deaths.
Most of those incidents involved unregistered vehicles or unlicensed riders. Only 13 of those killed had a proper license to ride a motorcycle. “As the weather becomes warmer, many communities experience a lot of reckless motorcycles in some areas, people wheeling and speeding,” the commissioner said. “My message to those communities is that the NYPD is doing their part in terms of enforcement. We want to be sure that people know that DOT, NYPD and the governor’s office are working to ensure that enforcement will be seen in our communities.”But it is not all about criminalizing motorists, Rodriquez explained.
