@JohnSurico This policy came about through the collaborative work of so many people who recognized how life-changing this accommodation could be for caregivers and young children – electeds, parents, the SWA team, all of the stroller working group members, and many disability advocates!

This wouldn't have happened without the tireless work of advocates like @UPSTANDMovement. So exciting to see that push turn into action.

“Christine Serdjenian Yearwood, a mother of three who founded UP-STAND…said the program’s systemwide expansion is a sign of how much effort parents, bus operators and advocates for people with disabilities put into making it work.” thecityreporter.nyc/2026/08/06/str…

There is nothing more important than keeping New Yorkers safe, and reining in super speeders will save lives. I am proud to support efforts in Albany to enable new tools like Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) in our fight for safe streets.
“A small but reckless group of recidivist speeders poses a grave threat to the health and safety of everyone. That is why we, and Mayor Mamdani, support Intelligent Speed Assistance to rein in super speeders and save lives.” Commissioner Flynn’s op-ed: nydailynews.com/2026/04/25/alb…

Calling all parents, caregivers, grandparents, babysitters, and little ones! With Kathy Hochul's congestion pricing cancellation, families are paying the price with inaccessible subways, slow buses, and congested streets. Join us Saturday: mobilize.us/transalt/event…
👏🏼 @SenGianaris
The Senator is spot on. These deaths are preventable, and we can make policy choices to save lives. Thank you for addressing the core of the issue and sponsoring the bill to end NYC's exemption from daylighting intersections!

Out there today!
Hundreds of us are out today talking to riders at 23 subway stations across the city where accessible elevators were scrapped due to @GovKathyHochul’s disastrous congestion pricing pause! We needed these elevators YESTERDAY. Governor hear our demand, #congestionpricingnow!
