The sponsor's argument

Why Andrea Stewart-Cousins says this is needed

The Grant Street intersection of the Saw Mill River Parkway, located in the Village of Pleasantville, has experienced an uptick of drivers moving through red lights. This uptick has caused at least seventy acci- dents in the past eleven years, including twenty-seven accidents in 2019. Red-light camera programs have been effective in other jurisdic- tions in reducing accidents and reckless driving and increasing the safety of pedestrians. Westchester County seeks the State's permission to implement a red-light camera system at the Grant Street intersection, once it has come to a written agreement with the Commissioner of the State Department of Transportation, in order to dissuade drivers of unsafe driving habits.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
