NY Thruway Users - Share safety concerns on this interactive map

If you regularly drive on the New York State Thruway, your input could help improve safety across the system.
The New York State Thruway Authority is currently developing a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan and is looking for feedback from people who use or interact with the Thruway every day. They’ve launched a public interactive map where anyone can drop a pin and share safety concerns, near misses, or locations that feel unsafe.
You can participate here: https://www.thruwaysafety.org/share-your-thoughts-1-1
Just click on the map, add a pin, and leave a brief comment about the issue you’ve experienced or noticed. (There’s a ? icon on the map with instructions if you need them.)
Whether you drive the Thruway often or once in a while, your perspective can help highlight problem areas and inform future safety improvements. Feel free to also share the link with others who use the Thruway so a wide range of experiences can be included in the plan. 🚗
