Listen to Mayor Mamdani: Fund School Streets for All!
Call on City Council and Admin to fully fund safe streets in front of our schools.
Every year, more schools apply for school streets, a program run by the Department of Transportation that closes off the streets in front of schools to traffic during the school day. We’ve seen the benefits firsthand when students and communities are prioritized. School Streets don’t just give children space to play, they also reduce air and noise pollution, and improve pedestrian safety. We love the program, but know that it needs more support from the City to live up to its full potential.
Join us in the fight by sending a letter directly to your Council Member and the Mamdani Administration calling for dedicated School Streets funding and permanent plaza blocks in every borough.
