To make our streets safer for everyone, truck and commercial vehicle drivers must do their part by learning safe practices. In 2019, 67% of truck-involved pedestrian and cyclist crashes resulted in serious injury or death. Operating a truck or large vehicle in NYC can be difficult and poses some of the greatest risk.
