Vision Zero — eliminate traffic deaths
Renewed commitment to reach Vision Zero. Stop Super Speeders Act endorsed. Officer Giovansanti's 547 tickets surfaced Apr 24 — Mamdani called it unacceptable but stopped short of discipline. [Update Jul 24, 2026] EO 19 codifies fleet-safety commitments: DCAS to retrofit ~4,000 non-emergency civilian trucks with pedestrian alerts by Jun 2029, and require intelligent speed assistance on newly contracted non-emergency municipal vehicles. Incremental but concrete step; Vision Zero action plan release still pending per Transportation Alternatives et al. Status remains in-progress — traffic-fatalities baseline unchanged. [2026-09-15] "Vision Zero Reimagined" 50-page plan released: 100+ commitments across 19 agencies. 15 mph school zones expand to ~1,300 by end-2026 (from ~500) and to all 2,300 eligible zones by 2029. Adds pedestrian-only/priority districts; expanded 20 mph implementation under Sammy's Law. Status remains in-progress — plan announced, execution still ahead.
