""Speeding is a public safety emergency. From 2020 to 2024, unsafe speed was a top contributing factor to traffic deaths in New York City, playing a role in 317 fatal crashes and nearly 17,000 injury crashes.""
""ISA technology is targeted, proportionate, and fair. It does not revoke licenses or eliminate livelihoods - it simply prevents the most dangerous repeat offenders from exceeding posted speed limits.""
""The program would operate as a New York City pilot under the discretion of New York City Department of Transportation and Mayor Zohran Mamdani.""
Manhattan and Brooklyn district attorneys advocate for the inclusion of speed-limiting devices in cars of repeat reckless drivers as part of the Stop Super Speeders Act. They emphasize that speeding is a public safety emergency, contributing to numerous traffic deaths and injuries. The proposed Intelligent Speed Assistance technology would cap vehicle speeds without revoking licenses, targeting dangerous offenders. The program aims to operate as a pilot in New York City, pending further discussions on administration details, with support from the governor's office.
