How were these numbers calculated?

We used NYC Open Data’s Motor Vehicle Collisions datasets (Crashes h9gi-nx95, Persons f55k-p6yu, Vehicles bm4k-52h4). We filtered for dates 2022-01-01 to 2025-09-25 and records within Manhattan Community Board 3 (Chinatown–Two Bridges, Lower East Side, East Village). We counted injuries and fatalities by person type and reviewed hourly and location fields to identify hot spots and night patterns. Data accessed Sep 25, 2025. Base datasets are linked above; a filtered query can be reproduced starting [here](https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/Motor-Vehicle-Collisions-Crashes/h9gi-nx95).

Int 1439-2025 would require the NYPD to assign at least one crossing guard to every public and private K–8 school by Sept. 1, 2026. It places an adult between traffic and children at arrival and dismissal, changing street interactions around schools.
A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to requiring a school crossing guard at each school enrolling students in kindergarten through eighth grade
👍 Positive
2025-10-29 · Sponsor · NYC Council – Legistar · ↑ helps grade
Assigning crossing guards at all K–8 schools will reduce child pedestrian risk at peak times and can encourage walking to school, supporting safety-in-numbers. The effect is localized and time-limited and does not address broader street design, but it shifts responsibility toward driver compliance rather than vulnerable users.

Council bill orders one crossing guard at every K-8 school by Sept. 1, 2026. The commissioner must assign guards to public and private schools. The law takes effect immediately. Children will cross with an adult on duty at peak times.
A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the department of social services issuing replacement transit benefit cards
👍 Positive
2025-10-09 · Sponsor · NYC Council – Legistar · ↑ helps grade
Easier and low-cost replacement of reduced-fare transit cards maintains access to transit, supporting mode shift from driving and reducing traffic exposure risks for pedestrians and cyclists. The modest fee only after the first replacement limits barriers, so net effects on vulnerable road users are slightly positive via fewer cars and safety-in-numbers.
