How were these numbers calculated?

We queried NYC Open Data’s Motor Vehicle Collisions datasets: Crashes (h9gi-nx95), Persons (f55k-p6yu), and Vehicles (bm4k-52h4). We filtered for crashes between 2022-01-01 and 2025-09-19 within Senate District 22. We then counted crashes, injuries, and deaths, and summarized pedestrian harm by vehicle type. Data was accessed Sep 19, 2025. Reproduce our counts [here](https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/Motor-Vehicle-Collisions-Crashes/h9gi-nx95).

What policies could cut repeat speeding?

Senate bill S 4045 would require intelligent speed assistance for repeat violators — defined in its summary as eleven or more points in 24 months, or six camera tickets in a year. Senator Sam Sutton missed committee votes on S 4045 and on a school‑zone safety bill, S 8344.

Recent win: 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

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.

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
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.
