Sep 5 - Comptroller Brad Lander’s bus report cards land hard. Grades are low. The report names failing routes and service collapse. Poor bus service pushes riders toward cars and raises street danger. The transparency could force bus-priority fixes that help pedestrians and cyclists.

"Comptroller Brad Lander is out with his latest bus report cards, and the grades are as low as expected." -- Brad S. Lander

This is a report release, not legislation (no bill number, file number null). Status: released. Committee: N/A. Key date: report published September 5, 2025 and covered by Streetsblog NYC. Matter title: "Friday’s Headlines: D Bus is F’d Edition." Comptroller Brad Lander issued the bus report cards. Streetsblog reporter David Meyer filed the coverage. Brad S. Lander urged bus report card transparency. Safety note: "Publishing poor bus report cards doesn’t change conditions directly, though weak bus service undermines mode shift and can increase car traffic risk. The transparency could, however, spur bus-priority improvements that would benefit pedestrians and cyclists."

Sep 4 - Brad Lander’s report flunks the city’s bus network. More than half of 332 routes earned a D or worse. Slow, unreliable service strands riders. Without fixes, poor transit can push people into cars and worsen street danger.

"City Comptroller Brad Lander is already doling out failing grades for lackluster bus service in NYC." -- Brad S. Lander

No bill number. This is a Comptroller report published Sept 4, 2025 and not before a Council committee. The matter borrows the AMNY headline: "F for frigging slow! Lander’s bus report card claims dismal service on more than half of bus lines." Comptroller Brad S. Lander issued and backed the scathing grades. No council sponsors or votes are recorded. A report card critiquing bus performance has no immediate safety effect on pedestrians and cyclists. If it spurs bus‑priority upgrades that speed buses and reduce car dependence, safety could improve; without follow‑through, poor service may push riders to driving and worsen street danger.

Aug 14 - Int. 1353 orders the department to finish traffic calming or control devices on streets next to schools within 60 days of a study determination. The law takes effect immediately. Sponsors moved to speed protective infrastructure for children.

Bill Int. 1353-2025 is at SPONSORSHIP and referred to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. Introduced 07/14/2025 and recorded 08/14/2025, the matter is titled "A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to the time permitted for the installation of a traffic calming device or traffic control device on any street adjacent to a school." The bill requires the department to complete installation within 60 days of a traffic study determination. Primary sponsor Farah N. Louis introduced it. Co-sponsors Jennifer Gutiérrez, Justin L. Brannan, Tiffany Cabán, Lincoln Restler and Shahana K. Hanif signed on. Requiring installation of traffic calming or control devices near schools within 60 days after a study determination is likely to improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists by accelerating protective infrastructure, encouraging safer driving, and supporting ‘safety in numbers’ and equitable protection for children; however impact depends on timely, evidence-based device selection and adequate resourcing for implementation.
