Vision Zero was built on a powerful premise: that every traffic death is preventable.

Now that we’ve seen what works, we have a responsibility to keep expanding these safety measures across the city.

[NY AG James @NewYorkStateAG]

New Yorkers should be able to get around without fear of being harmed by illegal e-bikes, e-motos, or e-scooters.

Thanks to the work of @SpeakerMenin and @NYCCouncil, we're working towards a safer city for all New Yorkers.

[New York City Council @NYCCouncil]

BREAKING: The NYC Council is launching the most comprehensive legislative review of e-bike and e-scooter safety in city history.

So far this year, there have been well over 1,000 crashes involving e-bikes and e-scooters.

Whether you’re walking, biking, or driving, every New Yorker deserves safe streets. It’s time for action.

[Majority Leader Shaun Abreu @CMShaunAbreu]

Every New Yorker deserves to cross the street without fear, every rider deserves to know the device they purchase is safe, and every deliverista deserves to make a living without being pushed to ride dangerously.

This legislation will make micromobility safer for everyone.

Containerization works!

The rat buffet is closing, all future reservations canceled. When you take away the menu, the rats take the hint.

Could the answer to rats in New York City really be as simple as putting garbage into trash cans? Yes, actually. Bloomberg’s @samuelachurch reports https://t.co/HNzXwuK3O0 https://t.co/TQycO5HFht

[Transportation Alternatives @TransAlt]

New Yorkers deserve streets that are safe for everyone no matter how we get around.

While the number one cause of death on our streets is crashes involving cars and trucks, new high-speed devices and delivery business models mean that New York City needs thoughtful regulation.

[Sally Goldenberg @SallyGold]

“Ben Furnas, the executive director of Transportation Alternatives, a safe-streets advocacy group, said he supported banning a category of e-bikes that can exceed safe speeds. He said he also wanted additional oversight of the food delivery industry…”

[Speaker Julie Menin @SpeakerMenin]

Every New Yorker deserves to move around our city freely and safely, regardless of how they get around.

But too many people have been seriously injured or killed in crashes involving illegal e-bikes, e-motos, and e-scooters.

That’s why the @NYCCouncil is launching a comprehensive review of where existing laws can be stronger enforced, and what additional solutions are needed to keep New Yorkers safe.

[Majority Leader Shaun Abreu @CMShaunAbreu]

Calling all small business owners and entrepreneurs!

This coming Monday afternoon, @ManhattanCofC will be at our office to give free help with financial guidance, marketing, business coaching, and more. No appointment needed!

[Emily Gallagher @EmilyAssembly]

Thank you, Majority Leader, for your support!

[Majority Leader Shaun Abreu @CMShaunAbreu]

Every New Yorker should be able to save on their energy bill by harnessing the power of the sun.

Passing the SUNNY Act will make that possible, cutting the red tape blocking plug-in solar. Thank you Climate Families NYC, @LizKrueger, and @EmilyAssembly for leading the charge!

Law and Order: Congestion Pricing

Illegal ride share app Empower has been skirting city rules and paying congestion fees, potentially costing New Yorkers tens of millions of dollars and putting them at risk. We cannot let any company game the system at the expense of our safety.

[Transportation Alternatives @TransAlt]

The City Council must stop the sale of illegal high-speed devices.

Hear from Majority Leader @CMShaunAbreu, @CMCrystalHudson, and CM Christopher Marte:

[New York City Council @NYCCouncil]

Thanks to @CMShaunAbreu's bill, our deliveristas are receiving the protections they deserve.

That means more tips for our delivery workers, more timely payments, and a more sustainable career.

[Majority Leader Shaun Abreu @CMShaunAbreu]

I was proud to sponsor the law that restored tipping at checkout for deliveristas.

In just 6 months since it’s gone into effect, we’ve clawed back over $100 million in earnings for them. Thank you @helloDCWP for the enforcement that made it possible.

[Majority Leader Shaun Abreu @CMShaunAbreu]

I’m sickened by the stabbings of a Jewish man and an Asian man on the Upper West Side last night, as well as grateful for the NYPD’s swift action.

Rising hate and antisemitism has caused real danger and fear across our city. This issue demands our full attention and unity.
