Caregivers—parents, adults caring for elders, support workers—are experts when it comes to identifying where crosswalks are needed, traffic speeds are too high, accessible design upgrades are urgently required, social issues arise, etc.
Why is this?

We are devastated to learn that a 66-year-old woman was killed this afternoon by a pickup driver while pushing a stroller in Bath Beach, Brooklyn.
Our city failed to protect her.
This intersection lacked basic protections for pedestrians, like daylighting or curb extensions.

These crashes are not distributed equally.
Compared to the citywide average, we found serious injury crashes were:
📈 23% higher in the Bronx
📈 21% higher in the lowest-income council districts
📈 15% higher in the districts with the highest percentage of residents of color

4,224 people were seriously injured by crashes between January 2022 and June 2023.
For every traffic fatality in NYC, 11 people are seriously injured.
Today, we're launching a new dashboard to show that this preventable crisis requires bold action.

It's the first day of school for more than one million students across New York City.
How can we give them space to learn, play, and grow — without the threat of traffic violence?
It's simple: Let's create a car-free School Street at each of New York City's 1,800 schools.

We officially have #6minuteservice y’all!
This is big big news for #CD18 and the Bronx - I cannot wait to see my neighbors taking advantage of this new service.
Thank you to everyone who fought hard to make this a reality- we did that!
Your weekend wait for 1 and 6 trains is getting shorter!
Starting this Saturday, 1 and 6 trains will run every six minutes on weekends (instead of every eight).
These permanent service enhancements were made possible thanks to $35M of funding in the NY State Budget.

The Government Street pedestrian priority area has space for people to comfortably walk and roll side by side. We need way more places like this. Fewer cars - more room for living well - delightful #ClimateAction.

Montreal for the win: 10 (ten!!) commercial arteries to become pedestrian-only streets this summer.
The well established link between pedestrian streets and commercial vitality is driving policy making in Montreal.

Learned about a very interesting crowdsourcing tool at #CAG2023. @walkrollmap allows you to report micro barriers to accessible walking or rolling anywhere in the world, which are then identified on a shared map.
