Janet Schroeder, co-founder and director of NYC-EVSA, says organization supports Priscilla’s Law out of fear for the safety of pedestrians and cyclists.
She says there is a lack of reporting in e-vehicle crashes, mostly because the NYPD doesn’t provide an option to select e-vehicles on accident reports.
Schroeder says ER doctors saw more injuries caused by these accidents in two months than the Department of Transportation reported in a year.
She says transportation advocates and lobbyists are paying a lot of money to line pockets of officials to not pass Priscilla’s Law.
