Help MADD and The Andrew McMorris Foundation End Impaired Driving in New York State
New York State residents: MADD and AMF need your help to pass three bills that will help stop impaired driving in our state. Drunk driving increased during the pandemic: from 2019 to 2020, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), drunk driving deaths increased from 256 to 283—an 11% increase! Lawmakers must advance DWI reforms to ensure New York roadways are safe for all residents.
