- A real bike network in Midtown — including updates to Midtown’s existing Crosstown bike network, a river-to-river connection in the 40s, and completed protected bike lanes on Seventh Avenue.

- A Miracle on 5th Avenue — a full redesign with more pedestrian space, better bus infrastructure, and a protected bike lane, as called for in DOT’s 2021 plan.
We're calling for the following improvements along the corridor:
- A Miracle on 34th Street — a car-free busway and transformed pedestrian space
- A Miracle on 42nd Street — a car-free busway and transformed pedestrian space
More than 90% of Manhattan residents below 60th Street report walking for transportation in the last week, but sidewalks are still not big enough to meet demand.
In 2025, one in four Citi Bike trips originated in, ended in, or passed through either Council Districts 3 or 4, despite the lack of protected crosstown bike lanes.
The M42 bus — which serves Times Square-42nd Street, the busiest subway station in North America — and the M34 bus — which serves Penn Station, the busiest commuter rail station in the hemisphere — are among the slowest buses in the city.
Today, Transportation Alternatives is launching Miracle in Midtown, a new campaign for a safer and less congested Midtown!
Over two million people navigate Midtown every day, and they’re met with clogged sidewalks, congested streets, and polluted air.
Get out there and bike on this gorgeous day!

Stop Super Speeders is part of the State Senate's one-house budget! New York has the chance to save lives by slowing down the worst-of-the-worst drivers. Let's get this done.

The Adams administration had the power to lower speed limits to 20 mph, but they barely used it.
The Mamdani administration has an enormous opportunity to make our streets safer.

"Requests for slow zones have already passed the transportation committees of Manhattan CB2 and CB5, Queens CB6 and Brooklyn CB6. The full boards of Brooklyn CB1, Manhattan CB4, and Queens CB2 have all passed requests."
Finding a parking spot shouldn't be so hard. With demand-based metered parking, New York City could ensure that there are always one to two open parking spots per block.

We live in a society
A speed camera at this intersection caught more than 3,600 people speeding in 2025, an average of almost ten drivers a day.
The New York City Department of Transportation has identified Rockaway Parkway as a Vision Zero Priority Corridor, but has not lowered the speed limit on the street, even though it is eligible for speed limit reductions under Sammy’s Law.
This morning, a driver hit and killed a 4-year-old boy in Brownsville, Brooklyn. He is the fourth child killed in New York City already this year.
"Indeed, in a white paper to the incoming mayor issued late last year, Transportation Alternatives argued that sensible curb-management strategies could raise $4 billion."

Looking to raise billions of dollars? Try parking reform:
"'We should be looking at all those things,' Fuleihan had said, referring to the questioner's specific mention of dynamic parking fees or other ways to get revenue from one of the city's untapped public resources."

"The data the group released kind of reads as prompts for speculative flash fiction. Like, who is Mister (or Miz, but again, let's be honest, Mister) black 2023 A6, and how did he get $63,000 to burn on speeding tickets...?"

Stop Super Speeders on the news
Thank you to @governor.ny.gov Kathy Hochul for championing Stop Super Speeders! Let's get this done.
"They released the data on Wednesday as part of their push for state legislation that would install speed-limiting devices — also known as Intelligent Speed Assistance technology — in the cars of drivers who accumulate a certain number of speed-camera tickets in a year."
