[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

There is nothing more important than keeping New Yorkers safe, and reining in super speeders will save lives.

I am proud to support efforts in Albany to enable new tools like Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) in our fight for safe streets.

[Sen. Mike Gianaris @SenGianaris]

Great to celebrate improvements to the 31st Avenue Open Street with the fellow elected officials, advocates, and volunteers who made it happen at today's @31stAveOS block party!

.@SenGonzalezNY and I wrote to Chancellor Aviles-Ramos to urge @NYCSchools to remove unfair restrictions on certain students preventing them from accessing Student OMNY Cards.

Calling all parents, caregivers, grandparents, babysitters, and little ones!

With Kathy Hochul's congestion pricing cancellation, families are paying the price with inaccessible subways, slow buses, and congested streets.

👏🏼 @SenGianaris

[Jackson Chabot @chabot_jackson]

The Senator is spot on. These deaths are preventable, and we can make policy choices to save lives.

Thank you for addressing the core of the issue and sponsoring the bill to end NYC's exemption from daylighting intersections!

Out there today!

[🚇 Riders Alliance @RidersAlliance]

Hundreds of us are out today talking to riders at 23 subway stations across the city where accessible elevators were scrapped due to @GovKathyHochul’s disastrous congestion pricing pause!

We needed these elevators YESTERDAY. Governor hear our demand, #congestionpricingnow!

[Families For Safe Streets @NYC_SafeStreets]

We'll see you tomorrow.

Hochul's congestion pricing pause has paused crucial subway upgrades including elevators & accessibility at 23 stations.

We're canvassing these stations to talk to riders about what we've lost (& how to fight back!). Join us Sun. 9/8, 10:30am-noon.

Back when @UPSTANDMovement was founded, MTA told me to “get in line” when I advocated for family fares as a necessary discount. Now, a huge step forward by @MTA toward making NYC more affordable and livable for families with school-age children. 24/7, 365!

[MTA @MTA]

T-A-P T-O G-O 🎶 NYC students, we’ve got exciting news: Student OMNY Cards are coming this school year!

With the new Student OMNY Card, you’ll get four free rides a day, all year long! That means more free rides than Student MetroCard—24/7/365, including weekends, summers, and holidays.

Keep it with you and tap for every trip!
