This is one of four detailed reports on the private carting industry, commissioned as part of New York City's "One New York: The Plan for a Strong and Just City" initiative. This safety data analysis provides a foundational understanding of the breadth and depth of safety incidents, while the interviews and training materials review provide additional qualitative information to develop a well-rounded understanding of safety challenges and opportunities in private hauling.
