On January 9, 2026, a coalition of of safe streets advocates, public health organizations, and civic groups, wrote to New York Governor Kathy Hochul to urge her to include the Stop Super Speeders act – S.4045 (Gounardes) /A.2299 (Gallagher) – in the upcoming New York State budget.
The budget is the most powerful tool available to deliver immediate, life-saving change. Including the Stop Super Speeders act in the Executive Budget would ensure timely implementation of Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) technology for the small number of repeat, egregious speeders who pose a disproportionate risk on our roads.
Across New York State, speed-related fatalities have sharply increased in recent years, climbing by more than 30% from 301 deaths in 2019 to 393 in 2022 — even as total crashes declined.
Overall, approximately one in three traffic deaths statewide involves speeding.
