New York City Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani and New York City Department of Transportation Commissioner (NYC DOT) Mike Flynn today announced that NYC DOT will reduce the speed limit to 15 MPH at every eligible school location across the five boroughs by the end of Mayor Mamdani’s first term.

“Sammy’s Law will save lives, and I’m grateful to Mayor Mamdani and DOT Commissioner Flynn for using it to lower speeds around schools. I was proud to sponsor the home rule that enabled this legislation, and it is a relief to see the law deployed to protect our communities. This is the kind of step the Council envisioned when we passed it to protect pedestrians citywide. I look forward to seeing the impact,” said City Council Majority Leader Shaun Abreu. Read more here.
