Mayor Zohran Mamdani was sworn into office at midnight on Jan. 1 inside the old City Hall subway station. The symbolism of the act seemed clear: better transportation would be a core tenet of the new mayor’s mission.
Immediately after the ceremony, Mamdani tapped city government veteran Mike Flynn to lead his Department of Transportation (DOT) in delivering on his campaign promises to speed up city buses and make the streets safer for all who use them.
