What leaders can do now
Queens’s parent districts listed here include Council District 19, Assembly District 23, and Senate District 10. Their current officeholders are Council Member Vickie Paladino, Assembly Member Stacey Pheffer Amato, and Senator James Sanders. The record here does not show whether they back the bills below.
- Lower speeds: New York City now has the power to set safer limits under Sammy’s Law. Our own coverage lays out why a citywide 20 MPH default would save lives. Details and contacts.
- Stop repeat offenders: The Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C) would require drivers with 11 DMV points in 18 months or 16 camera tickets in a year to install speed limiters. The risk data above show why this matters. Learn more.
