The Mamdani administration says it will dramatically expand an effort by his predecessor to install speed governors inside city-owned vehicles, rising from 1,000 today to 3,000. buff.ly/SUR2xQP

It's a simple fact: speed kills.
@EmilyAssembly and I passed the Stop Super Speeders Act to empower NYC to slow down the most reckless drivers. Today, @kaymsanto introduced a Council bill to implement the program.
We're one step closer to safer streets for all New Yorkers. – at Brooklyn, NY

Slowing down super speeders saves lives. @Sen_Gounardes and I fought for years to pass our bill at the state level, and now @kaymsanto is taking it across the final hurdle at the city.
We are fighting for every family that’s lost a loved one to a preventable crash.

“The number of drivers who have racked up 16 or more speed camera tickets in a one-year period is spiking, right as legislation to slow them down comes up for a vote.”

Answer: More than 16,500 as of the end of August, per @TransAlt.
That's a 12 percent increase from all of 2025.
32 percent of these drivers are "out of state"

This morning, I was proud to stand with @NYC_DOT in Astoria to announce the expansion of the Red Light Camera Program to cover 600 intersections across our city.
These cameras are an essential tool to change how drivers behave and to prevent red light running and fatal crashes.
Transportation Alternatives retweeted
We know how to make our streets safer, so we did it 600 times.
Red light cameras reduce red light running by 80% and T-bone crashes by 65%. Most importantly, they help New Yorkers get home safely.
That's why we installed new red light cameras at 600 intersections across the five boroughs to help stop dangerous driving before tragedy strikes, and make our streets safer for everyone who walks, rolls, drives, or takes the bus.

You know it, I know it, and everybody in Sunset Park knows it, too: Third Ave is a death trap.
Our neighbors have spent years begging for action. The human cost is too high to wait any longer. It's time to redesign Third Ave to make it truly safe for everyone who uses it. – at Brooklyn, NY

There's an easy piece of technology that can prevent cyclists and pedestrians from being run over and killed by truck drivers.
But few trucks operating on New York City's streets are required to have it — and many of those trucks get an exemption from the city itself...
Transportation Alternatives retweeted
the two cyclists who were killed by truck drivers in september might have survived if those vehicles had side guards.
one of the trucks got an exemption from the city to not install them — and that's true for many of the trucks that operate on our streets

“@NYCMayor [speaks about] streets as the envy of the world and re-upping Vision Zero,” said NY4P. “Reopening Freedom Drive in Forest Park flies in the face of that rhetoric. If it’s good enough for Central and Prospect Parks, it’s good enough for Queens”

Long overdue! The B38 currently moves at a glacial pace on DeKalb Ave for over 10,000 daily riders, and better bike connections will get cars off the road and make Ft. Greene and HVK parks way more accessible. @NYC_DOT please start implementation ASAP!

Manhattan Council Member Chris Marte and Borough President Brad Hoylman-Sigal want Mayor Mamdani to put a bike lane on Chambers Street. Plus the news.

It's not complicated:
"If you want to address the real problems, you have to:
"1) cut off the flow of illegal high-speed devices at the point of sale,
"2) regulate delivery app companies, and
"3) phase out the fastest currently legal e-bikes."
Yesterday, the City Council held a massive, 10-hour, three-committee hearing on e-bikes, e-scooters, and high-speed illegal devices.
