Citywide Campaigns
Every bus stop needs a shelter with seating and a countdown clock.
The implementation of congestion pricing is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reimagine New York City's streets — and make your life better – but our city leaders must take steps today to make it both successful and effective.
We are calling on Gov. Hochul to act now – these last few weeks before congestion pricing begins are the key time to implement projects that meet this moment.
NYC students deserve affordable transportation options and Citi Bike should be one of them! Sign our petition today to show your support for expanded active transport options for youth.
Intro 606-2024 would mean that nearly 100,000 New Yorkers who ride e-bikes every day — whether to take their kids to school, commute to work, or pay their bills — would need to get “licensed” to do so. We must pull the brakes on this costly, dangerous, ineffective idea.
Repurposing parking spots close to intersections will increase visibility and safety for everyone using our streets.
Our youth deserve great, safe, car-free streets outside their schools.
Congestion pricing can and will transform our city for the better, but to ensure New York City reaps the most benefits, policymakers must take steps today to take full advantage of the oncoming changes. Sign our petition to tell the city we need to act now to be prepared.
It is time we act about reckless drivers. Intelligent Speed Assistance technology will make our streets safer and ensure that a small number of reckless drivers don't control our public spaces.
Supersized vehicles present a danger to pedestrians and other road users and have a disproportionate impact on the wear and tear of our roads.
Outdoor dining has put parking spaces to a higher use.
New York City’s streets and sidewalks make up our largest public space. But more than 75 percent of that space is devoted to driving and free storage for cars
With a network of protected bike lanes and redesigned streets, New York City could reach Vision Zero and usher in an even greater bike boom..
It's time for New York City to publicly fund our bike share network. Using public subsidies, we can make the system more affordable to all New Yorkers.
The East River bridges, bike paths, and pedestrian paths are too dangerously overcrowded to safely walk and bike on. Pedestrians, cyclists, runners — we all need more space!
New York City desperately needs more bicycle parking. The lack of bike parking in our city is far from a minor inconvenience.
We are calling on Mayor Adams and our City Council members to quickly build a citywide network of protected bike lanes that serves all New Yorkers.
New York City's Open Street are popular, beloved, effective, and lifesaving. But, our new research finds those benefits are lost when infrastructure is subpar. We need our leaders to correct these inequities and make permanent 24/7 Open Streets part of NYC 25x25 — a plan to convert 25 percent of car space into space for people by 2025.
