“The plan delivers faster, more reliable service through new busways and bus lanes along 50 key corridors, traffic signals that give buses a head start, and more efficient boarding. It will also create comfortable, accessible stops with seating and shelter.” 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

“New York City’s buses are more than transportation — they are one of the most powerful engines of opportunity in the city” Read NYC DOT Commissioner Mike Flynn's @NYDailyNews op-ed about our new bus action plan, Next Stop: Fast Buses, Better Service. nydailynews.com/2026/07/09/fas…

Despite most residents on the Lower East Side not owning a car, Clinton Street is dangerous and hectic from all the cut-through traffic. A Low Traffic Neighborhood would make it safer and more welcoming for residents and visitors! bit.ly/4vYvZUe

New study: NYC's congestion pricing cut cars by 21% & trucks by 18%! Result? EMS response times dropped by 5-6%! Cars cause traffic. Cars block ambulances. Cut the number of cars, & you get fewer crashes, cleaner air, faster emergency response, quieter streets, & so much more!

"More trees instead of hazards, students doing homework or playing outside instead of dodging traffic, families gathering after school instead of avoiding the block." - Reminton Reynoso, WHEELS graduate, urging @NYCMayor to fund School Streets now! amny.com/opinion/how-op…

This year's city budget is the largest ever, but it still doesn't include any funding for School Streets - safe, open space for students outside schools. We have the largest school system in the country, but only 71 schools currently have School Streets - and $ is a major hurdle!

NYC should go further than congestion pricing and adopt Low Emissions Zones citywide, not just in the CBD. Low Emission Zones target high-emissions vehicles directly, cutting pollution everywhere while pushing EV adoption and less driving. theguardian.com/us-news/2026/j…

"The plan includes reshaping every intersection along the 8-block corridor w/ painted curb extensions protected by planters, bike corrals & pieces of granite... designed to both shorten crossing distances & make pedestrians, motorists, & cyclists all more visible to one another."

The city’s Department of Transportation will begin construction on Monday to redesign several blocks of Manhattan’s Avenue B along the East Village’s Tompkins Square Park. amny.com/nyc-transit/do…
