A Department of Transportation review recommended ending the Dangerous Vehicle Abatement program because it is too difficult to assess its effectiveness. Advocates and elected officials have called the program a failure.
Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.A program meant to crack down on dangerous drivers did not dramatically reduce their sketchy behavior on New York City streets, the Department of Transportation wrote in a new report on Friday.
“It may be that some DVAP-eligible vehicle owners respond to intervention with defiance and anger, leading to worse outcomes after interventions meant to improve the behavior of problem drivers.” Other factors making it difficult to assess the program included separate efforts to crack down on dangerous driving, the agency wrote.
From the start of the program until March of this year, just 12 vehicles were seized, according to the transportation department. The Department of Finance told Gothamist an additional four were later seized.
