STREETS FOR PEOPLE

Learn More
 
 

NYC 25x25

Our challenge to New York City’s next leaders is this: How will you give the
streets back to people? Read the report.

Seven Steps to Save Our Health, Our Safety, Our Environment, and Our Economy by
Making Better Use of New York City’s Streets



Transportation Alternatives and Families for Safe Streets’ policy platform for
New York City Mayor-elect Eric Adams. Read the agenda.

Open Streets Forever

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. Our research also found significant inequities in planning and
operation. Read the report.

Too Fast, Too Furious

Speeding drivers are a leading cause of death and injury on New York City
streets, yet today, city officials do not have control over speed limits. To
demonstrate the need for local control over speed limits, FSS and TA used speed
radar guns at five locations citywide, recording the speed of 1,670 drivers.
Read the report.

 


WE CAN RECLAIM OUR STREETS

TAKE ACTION

Streets and sidewalks make up 80% of our public space in New York City. We’ve
won many transformative changes, but too many neighborhoods have to deal with
reckless drivers, slow bus service, and a scarcity of safe walking and biking
infrastructure. Transportation Alternatives believes that this public space
belongs to the people of New York City, and we are working with New Yorkers in
every borough to reclaim our streets.
