Mayor Zohran Mamdani is due to release a 10-year street-safety plan on Tuesday aimed at bringing traffic deaths and severe injuries in New York City to zero.
The roadmap, called Vision Zero Reimagined, is a 50-page plan covering all five boroughs. It lays out more than 100 commitments grouped under eight broad goals and involves 19 city agencies, including the Department of Transportation and the NYPD.
The plan expands on steps the city has already used since Vision Zero began in 2014, including lower speed limits, street redesigns, clearer sightlines at intersections and tougher enforcement against reckless drivers. It also proposes new pedestrian-oriented areas, including spaces designed mainly or entirely for people on foot.
Mamdani’s administration says the package is meant to guide street-safety policy over the next decade. The document builds on earlier city efforts while adding a wider set of agency commitments intended to reduce deadly crashes across the five boroughs.
