      Corey Hannigan from Tri State Transportation Campaign strongly supports Intro 1138, which would implement universal daylighting in New York City. He cites the success of similar measures in Hoboken and San Francisco, emphasizing the urgent need for this safety measure to reduce pedestrian fatalities and improve visibility at intersections.

      • Hannigan highlights the 35% drop in pedestrian fatalities in Hoboken after implementing universal daylighting.
      • He criticizes DOT's opposition to the bill, suggesting they should support the law while emphasizing the need for more funding and staff for intersection hardening measures.
      • The testimony urges City Council members to pass the bill with urgency, bringing NYC back into alignment with state law and preventing further fatalities.
