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.

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.

2025-10-29 · Sponsor · NYC Council – Legistar · ↑ helps grade
Requiring at least one crossing guard at every K–8 school should reduce crash risk at school arrival/dismissal and may modestly encourage walking by families. The benefit is localized and time-limited, and does not replace the need for systemic street design changes, but it improves equity by covering all public and private schools.
