Our mission is to reclaim New York City's streets from the automobile and to advocate for better walking, biking, and public transit for all New Yorkers.
Daylighting intersections benefits everyone — whether you are walking, biking, or driving.
Increased visibility = safer streets
To meet our city’s climate goals and shift trips out of cars, this administration needs to meet the mandates of the NYC Streets Plan.
Speaker Adams’ proposed Streets Plan tracker will provide accountability to ensure NYC follows the legal requirements.
Let's get this passed!
🌎 Citi Bike riders took more than 2,208 trips around Earth last year 🌎
🚲 People took 35 million rides — 18% more than 2022
📈 And rode 55 million miles — 32% more than 2022
The bike boom isn't slowing 💥
It's time to expand Citi Bike citywide ⤵️
Reminder: This time next year, outdoor dining will be car parking — even on days like this.
We need a permanent, year-round outdoor dining program.
When fully implemented, this will result in 12 million fewer miles driven per year.
These trucks have an extremely high crash rate and are some of the biggest noise + emissions polluters on our streets.
Fewer miles driven will lead to safer streets.
New York City Department of Sanitation Announces Key Details and Contract Awards by Zone for Implementation of Sweeping Commercial Waste Reform
Following significant planning, analysis, and contract development, the New York City Department of Sanitation (DSNY) today announced the next steps in the monumental overhaul of the City’s commercial waste industry mandated under Local Law 199 of 2019. While the Department of Sanitation collects trash, recycling, and compostable material from residents, businesses are required to hire private carters to collect their waste. Currently, any neighborhood may be serviced by dozens of these carters in an inefficient, hazardous, and unsustainable system.
This is insulting to the hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers who rely on Access-A-Ride to get around.
Access-A-Ride spots are NOT free parking spots for cops or people with placards.
This has to stop.
Let's invest in bus riders by funding car-free bus lanes and more frequent service.
With congestion pricing coming very soon, now is the time to deliver faster, more reliable buses.

Drivers should follow the speed limit. Intelligent speed assistance ensures they do.
We're glad 50 school buses will receive this essential technology to keep New Yorkers safe.
This builds upon the current expansion of ISA to 300 vehicles in the city fleet — soon to be 2,000!
Clear majorities also support building more places for children to play, protected bike lanes, greenery, and more. New Yorkers want streets for people.
