• A New Yorker is killed every 31 hours
• Every three hours, a New Yorker suffers a serious injury: dismemberment,
disfigurement, or permanent disability
• Every eight minutes, a New Yorker is injured in traffic

Traffic crashes are the #1 cause
of injury-related death for children.

• 12% of City residents are older than 65
• 36% of pedestrians killed in traffic crashes are older than 65
• Traffic crashes are the #2 cause of injury related death for seniors
(after falls)

• Traffic deaths and serious injuries are
preventable: Vision Zero is a city where no
one is killed in traffic.
• People are imperfect; they make mistakes:
Our street policies must be designed to
encourage people to make better choices, and
to minimize the danger posed when people
don’t make the best choices.
• We know why traffic crashes happen.
Therefore, we can and must act to prevent the
ensuing injuries and deaths.

T.A. 2013 Election Year Platform:
The Safety First Plan: A Five-Borough Blueprint for New York City Streets
• Data Driven Traffic Safety Enforcement
• Though more New Yorkers are killed in traffic than murdered by guns, the New York City Police Department does not take its traffic safety mandate seriously. The data driven strategy that helped reduce street crime is not applied to traffic crime. Many of the most serious infractions -- vehicular speeding and failure to yield to pedestrians -- do not receive adequate enforcement priority. The next mayor must strengthen the NYPD’s commitment to traffic safety by instituting a data driven, zero tolerance policy for traffic deaths and serious injuries and set and start work on a multi-year goal of eliminating traffic deaths in New York City.

“We aren’t going to wait and lose a son, a daughter, a parent
or a grandparent in another senseless and painful tragedy.
Our top responsibility is protecting the health and safety of our
people. From tougher enforcement to more safely-designed
streets and stronger laws—our work starts today”

The NYPD is applying data driven strategies to street safety
• 70% of fatal pedestrian crashes are caused by motorists who make
dangerous choices; speeding and failure to yield were the two leading causes
of injury and death
The NYPD has publically established Vision Zero as a target
• Communicate problems, solutions and goals
• Significant increase in enforcement of the most dangerous violations
– Speeding
– Failure to yield
• Increasing engagement with communities and the media
• Participating in Vision Zero forums and partnering on education campaigns

60% of pedestrian fatalities
occur on only 15% of our
streets - arterial streets, which
are wide streets that carry high
volumes of traffic at high
speed.
In addition, pedestrian crashes
on arterial streets are
approximately 66% more
deadly than crashes on smaller
streets
