New York City’s low-income neighborhoods of color are disproportionately experiencing the greatest danger from traffic crashes, while receiving far fewer street safety improvements, according to a new report shared with amNewYork ahead of its Tuesday release.
Think tank Center for an Urban Future produced the report, titled “Closing NYC’s Street Safety Gaps in the Communities Most at Risk,” in conjunction with the tech industry trade group Tech:NYC, as part of their new joint “Project for Livable Streets.” It is aimed at providing Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration with policy recommendations for making the city’s streetscape safer.
