NYS Safe Streets Day of Action
Transportation Alternatives
Join safe streets advocates from around NYS as we head to Albany to talk to legislators about the key bills we need them to pass to keep cyclists and pedestrians safe on New York's streets.
Past actions have led to successes including the the 2022 law allowing local control of speed limits down to 25 mph and the 2024 inclusion of Sammy's Law in the NYS Budget. Sammy's Law is named after Sammy Cohen Eckstein who was 12 years old in 2013 when he was killed by a speeding driver in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Sammy's Law gives NYC local control of speed limits on neighborhood streets down to 20 mph.
At the the Safe Streets Days of Action, YOU can help! Join us as we head to Albany to talk to legislators about how important cycling is to our communities and what we want our elected representatives to do right now to keep cyclists and pedestrians safe on New York's streets.
