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!

Reminder: This time next year, outdoor dining will be car parking — even on days like this.

Giving Tuesday — Transportation Alternatives

We are furious to hear that the driver of an NYPD tow truck struck and killed a 7-year-old boy.

No parent should have to bury their child and this devastating crash robbed this boy of the future he deserved.

Nine children have been killed in traffic violence this year.

NEW DATA: In the first nine months of 2023, traffic violence killed 183 New Yorkers.

➡️ Drivers of cars, trucks & other large vehicles caused 99% of pedestrian fatalities.

➡️ NYC is on track to have the deadliest year for bike riders since 1999.

Announcements alone are not infrastructure. Promises won’t keep bike riders safe – but fully-protected bike lanes will.

The time to act is now. Fast track the Streets Plan. Lives depend on it.
