Queens has had 18 traffic deaths so far in 2024, tied for the most dangerous year by this date (during the Vision Zero era).
More than half of the children killed by vehicles in the last 2 years were killed in Queens.
There is a crisis happening in the World's Borough.
102.
That's how many people have died in traffic violence so far this year in NYC.
We held a 102 second die-in in honor of them and to demand @CarlHeastie call a vote on Sammy’s Law when the Assembly returns next week.
No more delays. No more preventable deaths.
#SammysLawNow
Crashes have killed 102 people in NYC this year, including 91 since Sammy's Law was introduced in the Senate.
Enough is enough. NYC needs control over its speed limits.
Join us at 11 a.m. tomorrow outside @CarlHeastie's Manhattan office at 250 Broadway to demand a vote.
We need Sammy's Law.
We cannot afford to wait for this basic, life-saving measure to pass.
Take action today.
Call Speaker Heastie at (518) 455-3791 and tell him you want lower, safer speed limits in NYC.
Speeding kills.
New York City should control its own speed limits. We shouldn't have to beg Albany for the power to set lower, safer speed limits.
We need to pass Sammy's Law in this budget.
Take action today. Send messages. Call your lawmakers.

Thank you @JeniferRajkumar, @AndrewHevesi, @jeffrion_aubry, and @JoAnneSimonBK52 for your support of lower speed limits in NYC!
Sammy's Law will prevent traffic violence by allowing lower speed limits in NYC.

This truck (plate 13265MN) has racked up 270 violations, none for speeding or going through red lights but all for illegal parking, blocking crosswalks and bike lanes. Indifference kills
Join me to learn, exchange ideas, and strategize at Vision Zero Cities, held virtually from Oct. 20-22 this year by @TransportationAlternatives. Don't miss these important conversations! https://t.co/QuIGIIPVs3 #VisionZeroCities
@ZackFinkNews@NYSenate@NYCMayor @CarlHeastie needs to also make this a priority. NYC deserves to have control over its roads. @OpenStreetsNYC are going to be killing fields if NYC can't enforce the lower speed limits.
Sources say @NYSenate is expected to pass “Sammy’s Law,” which would allow the City of New York to lower speed limits below 25 mph in certain areas. This and other traffic safety bills have been a major priority for @NYCMayor
The Bill’s fate in the Assembly is less clear.
New podcast: Our co-founder Amy Cohen spoke with @patkiernan from our 1,000 mile statewide road trip last week.
Now there's only 2 days left to pass #SafeStreetsNowNY bills, like Sammy's Law.
We hope you will listen @CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins.
