NYC gets $800,000 pedestrian safety grant
Marries well with Vision Zero plan
The federal government is giving New York City more than $800,000 to go after speeders and drivers who don’t yield to pedestrians.
The acting administrator of the National Highway Traffic Administration announced the grant Friday at the World Traffic Safety Symposium in the city.
Acting Administrator David Friedman says Philadelphia, Pa. and Louisville, Ky. also will receive grants as part of the government’s pedestrian safety campaign.
