✍️First, sign our petition to thank Governor Hochul for her strong leadership in support of congestion pricing. 📞 Then, let's flood her phone lines — call (518) 474-8390 and ask the Governor to hold the line for New Yorkers.

Read our statement here:.

"We reject the wrongheaded and dangerous idea that safety for pedestrians only comes at the expense of safety for those on bikes, and we demand a truly safe Bedford Avenue for us all.".

"The mayor can try to hide behind fear tactics and empty promises — but the facts on the ground are that he’s ripping up a safety project and doing absolutely nothing to protect pedestrians anywhere along Bedford Avenue.".

"By reverting a safe street to a dangerous one, Mayor Adams is exposing the City of New York, and as a result, all taxpayers, to significant financial and legal liability when New Yorkers are inevitably hit, seriously injured, or killed on Bedford Avenue.".

"Mayor Adams’ pursuit of this ruling sets a dangerous precedent, establishing that any special interest group that promises the mayor votes or money could reshape our city without regard to safety, data, or the expertise of our most trusted public servants.".

Since Adams took office, 83 cyclists have been killed & 1457 seriously injured. Our Communications Director, Alexa Sledge:."Just a week after his negligence killed two New Yorkers in Chinatown, Mayor Adams fought in court for his right to kill New Yorkers in Brooklyn, too.".

During the case, the opposition filed Exhibit B, DOT’s own report stating: “The City risks legal liability for knowingly reducing safety on a Vision Zero priority corridor.”. In response, >350 bike riders have pledged to sue the City if they’re hit or injured on Bedford.

Today, a four-judge Appellate panel denied the motion for an injunction, allowing the Adams administration to proceed with its plan to remove the Bedford Avenue safety improvements and protected bike lane. The judge terminated the temporary restraining order against the City.

“Settling lawsuits isn’t cheap, and NYC taxpayers will be on the hook for the mayor’s blatantly political decision-making”; Appellate Panel Denies Motion for an Injunction, Terminates Temporary Restraining Order, Allowing Adams Admin to Rip Out Bedford Avenue Safety Improvements.

Goodbye giant trucks! Another positive impact of congestion pricing on our streets:

In this heat, nobody should have to wait for the bus with no shelter from the blazing sun. Unfortunately, that's an all too common occurrence, especially with buses stuck in traffic. Check out our bus stop heat report we put together with NASA:

"The reduction in pedestrian injuries was consistent across all intersection types, with the most pronounced impact seen during the daytime: fatal pedestrian crashes dropped by 65% during daylight hours.".

No one should be injured — or worse — for trying to cross the street. New study: "Giving pedestrians a 7-second head start at traffic lights—known as Leading Pedestrian Intervals (LPIs)—is associated with a 33% reduction in total pedestrian injuries—both fatal and non-fatal. "

It's past time to #FixCanal — and that work doesn't end until the entire corridor is safe from beginning to end.

Mayor Adams has sent over 6,000 bike riders to criminal court. "If a 4,000 lb SUV runs a red light, they get a ticket . but if a 60 lb bicycle runs a red light, then they can get a criminal summons." . Hear more from TA's own Anna Berlanga:
