Monroe County - RARA

Pumpkin Patrol: October 30-31,2020 Bridges of the New York State Thruway 

Twenty five (25) ham operators will provide safety patrol after dark. We will provide the eyes and ears for the New York State Police in an effort to keep pranksters from throwing objects off bridges into the path of motorists below. We will cover seventeen (17) bridges in Monroe County and coordinate with neighboring counties as needed.

Hams will provide safety communications by informing Net Control of any suspicious activity. This type of activity can be, but is not limited to, stopping on overpass, same vehicle passing bridge location repeatedly, pedestrians on bridge, objects thrown from vehicle or by pedestrians. Net Control will communicate with NYSP. Additionally, we will have rovers that will bring refreshments to those watching bridges. More info at: https://www.rochesterham.org/public_service.htm
