Leaders, on the Record

State Sen. Jessica Ramos backed a plan to rein in repeat speeders, co-sponsoring Senate bill S 4045 and voting yes in committee on May 20, 2025; she later missed a June 12 vote. Record.

Assembly Member Jessica González‑Rojas co-sponsored the Assembly version to require speed limiters for repeat offenders. Record.

Ramos has said she wants “a citywide strategy that prioritizes safety through design.” Streetsblog.

What Will Stop This

  • Harden and slow the danger spots. Northern Boulevard and the Grand Central service roads need daylighting, refuge islands, and hardened turns. Target evening hours for enforcement where deaths peak. Open Data
  • Make lower speeds the rule. New York City now has tools to drop speeds and redesign streets; use them where people are dying. Streetsblog
  • End the repeat-offender grind. Pass and implement the intelligent speed‑assistance bills (S 4045 / A 7979) so chronic speeders can’t keep breaking our bodies. Senate bill | Assembly bill

One man died on the parkway. A cyclist died on 108th Street. The next life is a choice. Take one step now: take action.
