What’s happened here since 2022?

From Jan 1, 2022 to Sep 19, 2025, police reported 8,772 crashes in this district, injuring 5,699 people and killing 47, according to NYC Open Data.

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.

What Crashes Cost Here Loading estimate...

Loading crash cost estimate...

The three blocks below show direct costs, other harm, and the total for crashes with injuries, crashes without injuries, and all crashes together.

Loading estimate...

How we calculate this

We calculate these costs using a method developed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, or NHTSA. It gives one set of costs for crashes with injuries and another for crashes with no reported injuries.

Crashes with injuries cost much more because the method includes things like lost work, medical care, and long-term harm. NHTSA says crash costs include "lost productivity, medical, legal and court costs, emergency service, insurance administration, congestion, property damage, and workplace losses."

These are estimates, not bills. "Other harm" is the part of the broader estimate that goes beyond direct bills and insurance claims. It captures pain, disability, and lost quality of life.

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

Vernikov leads primary sponsorship of K–8 crossing guard mandate, improving child pedestrian safety.
👍 Positive
2025-10-29 · Sponsor · NYC Council – Legistar · ↑ helps 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.
City Requires Crossing Guard at Every K-8
👍 Positive
2025-10-29 · Sponsor · NYC Council – Legistar · ↑ helps grade
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 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.
