Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim October 2025, as Pedestrian Safety Month in the State of New York

This resolution requests Governor Hochul to proclaim October 2025 as Pedestrian Safety Month in New York State, aligning with National Pedestrian Safety Month. It aims to raise public awareness about pedestrian safety by highlighting statistics on annual pedestrian injuries and fatalities (including 300 pedestrian deaths in New York State yearly) and promoting safety practices like yielding at crosswalks and wearing reflective clothing. The resolution does not create new laws but encourages the Governor to issue a proclamation to support ongoing safety awareness efforts.
