Deaths Rise for Drivers, Bikers and Walkers on NYC Streets
Traffic fatalities from July 2011 through June 2012 were up 23 percent to 291 from the prior year 236. It was the first increase since 2007, when there were 310 traffic fatalities,
From the
Mayor's Management Report (MMR) we post up the
Transportation report
- 176 cyclists or pedestrians were killed in crashes, up from 158 the previous year.
- 115 deaths were motorists or their passengers, up from 78 the prior year
- speeding, driving while intoxicated, and running red lights or stop signs accounted for a combined 54 percent of motorist or passenger fatalities
- The Mayor's Management Report (MMR), which is mandated by the City Charter, serves as a public report card on City services affecting New Yorkers. The MMR is released twice a year. The Preliminary MMR provides an early update of how the City is performing four months into the fiscal year. The final MMR, published each September, looks retrospectively at the City's prior fiscal year performance.
