We’re proud to have worked alongside everyone who made this day happen! #AARPNY was on hand today for Governor Kathy Hochul signing Sammy’s Law to make NYC streets safer for all, especially people age 50+. #SAFEstreetsNowNY Families For Safe Streets @senatorHoylman Linda B.

Thank you to Amy Cohen, Families For Safe Streets, and Bike New York for speaking with me about the importance of passing legislation at every level of government to fight traffic violence. Together, let's ensure that Sammy's legacy makes our great city safer. #SafeStreetsNowNY
New York City needs to be able to control its own speed limits. Albany must pass Sammy's Law in the budget, and give NYC another tool to fight traffic violence. 🚦 #SafeStreetsNowNY transalt.org/safe Families for Safe Streets National
Study after study shows lowering speed limits reduces crashes and injuries. This table is from Federal Highway Admn, whose new speed management guidance calls for lowering speed limits. #SammysLaw #SafeStreetsNOWNY highways.dot.gov/sites/fhwa.dot…
At least 247 people were killed by traffic violence in the City last year. I’m proud to be sponsoring #SammysLaw in the Assembly to allow NYC to reduce its speed limits. When cars drive slower, communities are safer. We need #SafeStreetsNowNY, it cannot wait. Families For Safe Streets
