So much of this is canceling IT contracts which is a huge win for ending the endless grift of city contracting, particularly in IT. Technology work should be done by full time unionized workers, not consulting companies that disappear when the contract ends.

Making things trickier, Mamdani's office says his budget team is still going through the savings proposals from the agencies. So far, the budget team has only approved about $218 million in savings. The list of approved items:

Calmer traffic and slower speeds around schools are very good things! Pleased to see Sammy's Law finally being implemented as it was intended.

NEW: Mayor Mamdani announced that he will reduce speed limits on streets in front of 800 more public schools by the end of the year, a welcome expansion that underscores that slow implementation of Sammy's Law since it passed in 2024. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/03/16/mam…

There are not enough members of Congress talking about how the auto industry shapes federal transportation policy — and how that ultimately hurts working people across the US. Really refreshing to see this from Claire Valdez!
Claire Valdez@claireforny

For 50+ years, federal transportation policy has been written by and for auto industry CEOs. Working-class New Yorkers got the bill: poisoned air, divided neighborhoods, and a mass transit system starved of funding. We have a different vision. Read my op-ed at @StreetsblogNYC.

A tax-the-rich rally near City Hall is being led by groups including NYC DSA but has drawn a few non-DSA electeds, including @jordanjgwright (who has a socialist primary challenger) and @RagaForQueens (who’s running for senate against a DSA candidate)

Thank you, @NYCProgressives CM Justin Sanchez, for being the 20th sponsor on Int. 511 to make intersections safe!

The DOT should also ✨expand the School Streets program✨ with the goal to establish School Plaza Blocks. An incredibly beneficial program, yet it's far from reaching its full potential. And ✨universal daylighting✨, which is a no-brainer. The City should pass Int. 511 already.

Advocates were really hoping that the Mamdani administration would ditch its predecessor's stance on daylighting and go for universal application, which the mayor himself says he supports. Hearing otherwise today will be a major letdown for them.

.@RidersAlliance deserves a world of credit for being willing to criticize the mayor on this. Why are we not doing the most for our bus riders?
Streetsblog New York City@StreetsblogNYC

"We chose not to stand with the mayor today as he made his Fordham announcement because we are concerned that the plan does not go far enough to deliver faster, more reliable buses riders can depend on," said the executive director of @RidersAlliance nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/02/13/rid…

Mayor Mamdani's Department of Transportation is kicking off a substantial revival of multiple street redesigns that bit the dust under former Mayor Adams, including projects that were explicitly opposed by some local power brokers. nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/02/13/de-…
