Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim October 2026, as Pedestrian Safety Month in the State of New York

This resolution asks Governor Hochul to declare October 2026 as Pedestrian Safety Month in New York State, aligning with National Pedestrian Safety Month. It cites statistics showing approximately 300 pedestrian deaths annually in New York and references the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Safe System Approach to promote public awareness of safety measures like yielding at crosswalks and reducing speed. The resolution does not create new laws but seeks to elevate pedestrian safety through statewide recognition and education.
