## A 100-goal street reset
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani is rolling out "Vision Zero Reimagined," a decade-long plan with 100 policy goals to cut traffic deaths for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers.

> Vision Zero Reimagined
## Streets got more crowded
The rewrite lands as cars, bikes, e-bikes and a growing pile of other mobility devices compete for the same asphalt. The old playbook was built for fewer kinds of traffic.
## 15 mph near schools
Speed limits would drop to 15 mph around hundreds more schools, with new barriers and safety infrastructure going into 1,000 intersections every year.
## Safer city trucks
Thousands of city-owned vehicles would get upgraded safety tech, including audible truck alerts and better automatic braking systems.
## Hitting repeat speeders
Drivers caught speeding again and again in school zones would get speed-capping devices on their cars. Oversized passenger vehicles would pay higher tolls.
## Ghost plates and cheaper rides
The city wants more pedestrian-only zones, a harder push to pull "ghost plate" cars off the road, and funding to help low-income riders cover transit and Citi Bike. Some pieces need Albany's approval.
## Key takeaway

The next decade of NYC street safety hinges on speed: lower limits near schools, devices that cap repeat speeders, and more space where cars simply don't go.
