New York City’s buses are the slowest in the nation.

Congestion pricing can turn those buses into the most efficient way to get around.

New Yorkers need more frequent, reliable buses — great to see this investment in the state budget 💪

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.

Happy Earth Day 🌎❤️

We need to invest in sustainable transportation — biking, transit, pedestrian space, and more — to meet this moment.

Our future cannot depend on cars.

After many years of struggle, we finally were able to get 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. 🙏🏽

There’s nothing more important than keeping our neighbors safe. This is for all the loved ones, including in my district, that we have lost to reckless driving. This is for Sammy.

Thank you to everyone who helped get it to this point. Let's make our streets safer.

New York City needs all the tools it can to end preventable traffic violence and keep people safe.

Now, our lawmakers in Albany will finally pass Sammy’s Law.

Saving lives is what is all about.

As the Assembly sponsor, I am proud that the NY State budget of 2024 enshrines his legacy and that of countless others killed in car crashes by creating safer streets citywide.

NEWS: Sammy’s Law will finally pass!

This wouldn't have been possible without the advocacy of Amy Cohen, Families For Safe Streets 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.
