Did you spot our crew from the St. George Civic and @TransAlt at the Ferry today during your commute? SIers support a #SIBKFastFerry! Would you ride a fast ferry between St George & Bay Ridge? Let the @NYCEDC know! Fill out this survey! Bit.ly/SI_BK_BOAT
Nothing says #EarthWeek like a 🚴 ride along the Vanderbilt Motor Parkway in Eastern Queens! Not only do we need to extend the parkway across Queens, we need to ensure all our communities have clean water, breathable air and access to beautiful open spaces like this one. (1/2)
Traffic violence killed someone every 36 hours during the first quarter of 2024. Mayor Adams’ negligence is not just irresponsible — it's deadly. These aren't just statistics; they're real lives — parents, children, friends — 60 New Yorkers taken by preventable tragedies.
Traffic violence killed someone every 36 hours during the first quarter of 2024. Mayor Adams’ negligence is not just irresponsible — it's deadly. These aren't just statistics; they're real lives — parents, children, friends — 60 New Yorkers taken by preventable tragedies.
@NYCMayor, we cannot afford to wait. Lives are on the line. ➡️transalt.org/press-releases…
Empty promises won’t protect New Yorkers — only action will. Real safety comes from investing in life-saving infrastructure, such as protected bike lanes and physical daylighting at all intersections.
Daylighting — repurposing parking spots near intersections to enhance visibility — saves lives. 89% of the intersections where pedestrian fatalities occurred lacked any form of daylighting — and 100% lacked physical daylighting to stop drivers from parking at crosswalks.
None of the cyclists killed this year were in protected bike lanes, and 83% were on streets without any form of bike safety infrastructure. Just 1.7% of New York City streets have protected bike lanes. ➡️ See more in #SpatialEquityNYC: spatialequity.nyc/?c=2&b=council…
Our leaders must use all the tools and resources available to improve street safety. New Yorkers need physical daylighting, protected bike lanes, and car-free pedestrian space. The Adams administration's repeated failures are unacceptable and demand urgent action.
The Streets Plan sets clear legal mandates for new bike and bus lanes — a mandate Mayor Adams failed to meet in 2022 and 2023. This year, NYC has built fewer than 1.5 miles of the required 50. ➡️ projects.transalt.org/bikelanes

NEW: @MTA sets official start date for #congestion pricing — SUNDAY JUNE 30th at 12:01am. (Two weeks behind what some had targeted.) Exemption applications for low-income discount now open. Peak hours: cars $15. #NBC4NY
Congestion Pricing goes into effect June 30th! The benefits of congestion pricing are clear - better air quality, curtailing local car & truck traffic, and, most importantly, improving our mass transit system.
An update on our congestion pricing program: Tolling will begin at midnight on June 30, 2024. Low-income discounts, along with disability and other exemptions, are available to eligible drivers & vehicles. Applications for those are now open. Learn more: congestionreliefzone.mta.info
In 2017, New York's governor called congestion pricing an idea whose time had come. On June 30, barring any last ditch court interference, congestion pricing will become a reality. A day that can't come soon enough!

Every time I have to change to G train at Court Sq I miss the moving walkways. They were such a civilized touch& modern; they seemed so out of place in our antiquated system. My hope is congestion pricing cannot only speed our commutes but allow us the occasional amenity too.

The growing rate of traffic crash fatalities in the first quarter of 2024 is deeply concerning. Keeping NYers safe from traffic violence is paramount, and @NYCCouncil will continue to prioritize actions that make our streets safer for pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists alike.
NEW: The first quarter of 2024 was the deadliest start to a year since Vision Zero began in 2014 — with 60 New Yorkers killed by traffic violence. Traffic violence killed one person every 36 hours. ➡️ transalt.org/press-releases…
Since Vision Zero began, there have been 750 deaths in Queens, including 57 in my district. The Administration must comply with the legal requirements of the Streets Plan & implement more daylighting to create safer streets & reduce senseless traffic violence.

Mayor stops approving new bike lanes and this is what happens… We need this administration to implement a network of protected bike lanes and street safety initiatives that will actually keep us safe.

With the never ending media frenzy and political grandstanding over safety in the subway, we thought it'd be nice to hear from actual transit riders about how safe they feel taking the train. As usual, they did not disappoint.
After many years of struggle, we finally were able to get #SammysLaw passed. While this is an important moment in the history of nyc street safety and thanks to all the legislators who stood up to make this happen, it’s also a reminder that this shouldn’t have been so hard. 🙏🏽
NEWS: Sammy’s Law will finally pass! This wouldn't have been possible without the advocacy of Amy Cohen, @NYC_SafeStreets members, and countless others for their unending commitment. We won’t stop fighting until everyone can get around without fear of death or serious injury.
SAMMY'S LAW WILL FINALLY PASS! This moment would not have been possible without your tireless advocacy and unending commitment to street safety. A message from Amy Cohen, mother of Sammy Cohen Eckstein:
Right now, New York City has no control over its speed limits. Sammy’s Law would change this. We need Albany to #PassSammysLaw in the budget now!
