When Mayor-elect Mamdani takes office, he will control over 6,300 miles of streets throughout the five boroughs.
Reducing car dependence is one of the best ways to reduce costs for New Yorkers. Owning a car costs nearly $9,000 annually, while taking transit costs just $1,500.

We must do everything we can to prevent traffic deaths.
Low traffic neighborhoods will reduce cut-through driving and congestion, making residential streets safer, quieter, and healthier, while still letting people get to where they need to go.

"There was a Hell Gate story last month about the Lyft-owned system’s increasingly high profits (followed up yesterday by Gothamist, which reported on the company’s back-door price hike in the form of slower e-bikes that cost more)."

"'The policy to lower the Citi Bike speed limit was a sensible safety policy, but the implication for the impact on riders is that we pay more to get where we need to go,' said Councilmember Lincoln Restler, who introduced legislation to lower the bike share fares."
Slower Citi Bike speed limit means higher costs for riders and more cash for Lyft

Restler: "Ultimately we need to lower the costs of Citi Bike rides immediately. We have the most expensive bike share program in the world, and it's not even close."

Had an absolute blast biking to school with hundreds of families from PS110, PS34, and St. Stan’s Academy yesterday! It was great to be with so many kids biking safely to school 🚲

"A 70-year-old Bronx man fatally struck by a speeding wrong-way hit-and-run driver was a doorman on his way to work looking forward to retiring soon."

We applaud the Mamdani administration for speeding up bus commutes and improving street safety for tens of thousands of Bronx residents.
The completion of the Tremont Avenue busway is a major accomplishment achieved in Year 1. We hope to see DOT rapidly roll out more busways!
Two months ago, we revived the long-delayed Tremont Avenue busway. This week, it’s up and running. That means 39,000 daily riders on the Bx36 are getting faster, safer, more reliable commutes.

New York City has a responsibility to both investigate these crashes and prevent the next one. CIS can’t fall behind.
The NYPD needs to investigate more crashes to do their part in New York City’s Vision Zero ambitions.
The elite team of NYPD detectives that investigates serious crashes in hopes of uncovering critical street safety flaws is analyzing even fewer collisions than normal this year: They're on pace to complete eight cases. buff.ly/osk9N9j

What’s the plan to stop reckless drivers from endangering pedestrians? How can this lawlessness happen so close to the UN?
"I turned around and there was a guy walking his dog on the walkway, and this driver was honking at him to get out of the way."

I joined @NYC_DOT Commissioner Mike Flynn and neighbors on Third Ave in Sunset Park to discuss how we can redesign this roadway to put safety first.
Crossing the street shouldn't mean putting your life at risk. Third Ave has been too dangerous for far too long. It's time to act.

A regular sight downtown:
A massive truck illegally blocking the box, snarling traffic and putting people in danger.
New York City can't let drivers obstruct intersections and crosswalks with impunity.
Who could possibly consider trucks like this compatible with an urban environment? The driver can't see a single person passing in front of them.

“The idea that there would be a permanent exemption to a safety law rather than a requirement for businesses to get their fleet in line over time seems incredibly problematic.”

DoorDash has ripped off more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers. We’re making them pay $131.5 million — the largest worker settlement in City history.
This is New York, where hard work pays and greed will cost you.

We’re counting on the City of New York to fix this chaotic intersection to make it safe.
That means turn calming, protected bike infrastructure, and a protected bike intersection to prevent crashes and tragedies like this from ever happening again.

Why is there no side guard on this truck? Why is its turn signal not visible? Why did the driver turn without yielding?
How @emily_lip almost got "right hooked" by a truck driver in Queens last week — days before a girl was killed by a truck driver in Manhattan on Friday.

The @nytimes:
"Then in August, nine pedestrians or cyclists were killed by hit-and-run drivers, proving once again that, for all the hand-wringing about those lawless e-bikers, it’s the automobiles that pose the greatest danger."

NEW VICTORY- Deliveristas won a historic $131.5 million DoorDash settlement!
This victory belongs to the courageous workers who organized, and fought back when their wages were stolen and built a powerful union - @LosDeliveristas.
Thank you, @NYCMayor @helloDCWP.

The truck involved in last week's fatal crash with a teen on a Citi Bike was exempted from a city rule requiring a crucial safety feature.
About half of all trade-waste vehicles are exempt from the life-saving tech. buff.ly/yyre2rL
