I hope you never need me, but if you are hurt in a crash with a negligent driver while on your #bikenyc or walking on our streets, I can help.
Here are some suggestions on what to do if you are in a crash. Critical among them: make sure you're safe, call 911 & accept medical help if you're injured.

Free transit idea for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social that’s easier, cheaper to implement, has fewer weird what-ifs, and doesn’t involve the state:
Buy management control of Citibike, expand it citywide (finally), and make that fare-free for residents.

The entrance to the 3-storey bike parking garage at Utrecht Central holding 12,500 bicycles. It’s free for the first 24 hours, linked to the station, and used by tens of thousands every day. This is what happens when a country treats bikes as real transport infrastructure, not an afterthought.

As part of the congestion pricing legislation, New York has the power to free the zone of traffic jams during Gridlock Alert Days by dynamically increasing the congestion pricing fee by 25%.
But Governor Hochul directed the MTA *not* to use this power.

If we design our cities just for cars, they fail everyone, including drivers.
If we design our cities with many great CHOICES in how to get around, they work better for everyone, including drivers.

Fee never should have been lowered from $15 but with a Governor's election in the horizon I doubt there will be any increase soon.
As predicted, drivers have gotten used to the measly $9 congestion pricing toll and are back to breaking the city

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
