The Suffolk County Sheriff's Office was awarded a $227,578 project grant from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration under the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance High Priority Activities Grants and Cooperative Agreements program. The grant will support efforts to decrease commercial motor vehicle crashes in high-incident corridors, reduce large truck crashes, increase commercial motor vehicle traffic enforcement inspections, and violations from July 1, 2022 to September 30, 2024.
Specifically, the Suffolk County Sheriff's Office will work with the New York State Department of Transportation and local police agencies to improve commercial motor vehicle traffic safety through targeted enforcement and analysis of crash data in main access routes, work zones, and rural roads. Activities will focus on eliminating distracted driving by commercial motor vehicle operators, preventing secondary crashes at investigation scenes, and overall safety. Commercial motor vehicle carriers found in violation will also receive inspections and education.
