To every member of Families for Safe Streets who traveled up to Albany to share their story with legislators, to every TA activist who picked up the phone to make it clear that saving lives was non-negotiable — this victory is yours.

Last night, the Stop Super Speeders bill was passed as a part of this year’s New York State budget package! The bill will empower New York City to establish a program requiring speed-limiter devices on vehicles that receive 16+ speeding tickets in a single year.

"Intelligent speed assistance isn’t forcibly stopping you, it’s just not letting you go faster than you’re supposed to," a deputy commissioner with the Dept. of Citywide Administrative Services told Streetsblog. "We’re not asking anything except to follow the law."

Today, it was announced that the Stop Super Speeders bill, legislation that will require speed-limiter devices on vehicles that receive 16+ speeding tickets in a single year, will be included in the final state budget.

Statement from Darnell Sealy-McCrorey, a member of @fam4safestreets.bsky.social:

Today I had the opportunity to meet with real families who have lost ones they love to a reckless driver who was speeding on our roadways. They have turned their trauma and anguish into pure resolve, creating @fam4safestreets.bsky.social! Support my bill, AB 2276, the Stop Super Speeders Act!

NORTH CAROLINA - Today North Carolina Families for Safe Streets members met with legislators to urge support for HB 1199, sponsored by #RepSchietzelt.

GEORGIA - Today @BrianKempGA signed SB 160, #StopSuperSpeeders bill into law! Big shout out to #SenKirkpatrick (bill sponsor) #SatyaBahn, #KatherineCummings and @letspropelatl.bsky.social for representing this landmark win for safe streets! Read full: www.familiesforsafestreets.org/news/governo...

"A driver must be caught on camera speeding 16 or more times in a single year [to] qualify as a super-speeder." If you're that reckless of a driver, requiring Intelligent Speed Assist is the bare minimum. TBH, your car should be impounded and your driver's license canceled.

There is nothing more important than keeping New Yorkers safe, and reining in super speeders will save lives. I am proud to support efforts in Albany to enable new tools like Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) in our fight for safe streets.

Nearly 1 in 3 super speeders caught in NYC school zones have out-of-state plates. Out-of-state drivers are putting New Yorkers in danger! Call Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie's office and urge him to put the Stop Super Speeders bill in the budget: 518-455-3791 @familiesforsafestreets.org

There’s a law underway to stop this by mandating speed limiters in vehicles that rack up a history of reckless driving. but it’s being held up by the state assembly, because the Speaker is… also a super speeder himself. Call Speaker Heastie and tell him to support Stop Super Speeders: 518-455-3791

This week's biggest loser according to City & State's poll? Super speeder James Giovansanti. Assembly Speaker Heastie could slow him down — and the thousands of other super speeders like him. But Heastie's reportedly blocking Stop Super Speeders from the state budget.

#winning! The Stop Super Speeders Act passed the Assembly Privacy and Consumer Protection Committee this week unanimously with bipartisan support! This bill will help save lives and hold those accountable who continue to recklessly speed. @fam4safestreets.bsky.social @familiesforsafestreets.org

"We're not trying to take away your car, we're not trying to send you to prison, we're just trying to change your behavior so you don't kill people." Making a few thousand brazenly dangerous drivers obey speed limits is common sense. Unless you're Assembly Speaker. hellgatenyc.com/stop-super-s...

"A driver with a long record ran down a woman and her baby — and now the victim is calling out lawmakers for not doing enough to get recidivist reckless drivers off the road before they injure or kill someone." Albany must include Stop Super Speeders in the budget.

"Liam Lagunas, age 6, was on his way home from getting ice cream with his dad when a driver going over 100 mph hit their vehicle and took his life." Street racers and habitual speeders (aka Super Speeders) are 5x more likely to cause serious or deadly crashes ncsafestreets.com/2026/03/14/s...

We are thrilled that California Assemblymember @esmeraldasoria.bsky.social introduced AB2276, the #StopSupersSpeeders Act, yesterday! Impacted families across the state are standing with you! Learn more about the national movement: familiesforsafestreets.org/stop-super-spe…

One of the biggest drivers of increased costs is the marketing of larger and larger vehicles as the safer choice in an arm's race among consumers to have the largest vehicle involved in a crash and 'win' $3,998.54, or 17.1%, of price increases since 2002 is due to people choosing larger trucks

Tonight, I joined Astoria neighbors to demand that the city stand by its 31st Street safety project & appeal a ridiculous court order to rip up the protected bike lane. Afterwards, I participated in a die-in protest where advocates read names of those we've lost to traffic violence.

Today, we unveiled a map with brand-new data: New York's Most Dangerous Intersections Under @nycspeakeradams.bsky.social

Seeing @fam4safestreets.bsky.social discussed in @peoplemag.bsky.social is the exact type of mainstream conversation needed to break out and bring change. people.com/after-12-yea...

“You can’t tell me a parking space at the corner of a street is worth a life.” Advocates are in front of the district office of @galeabrewer.bsky.social this morning to ask her why she changed her mind and no longer supports universal daylighting in NYC.

If you like this change to the street, please let Brooklyn CB6 know by emailing [email protected] I'm on the board and we're already getting some cranky emails. The folks who are using this and benefit from it don't know they have to stand up for good things, so help us stand up for good things.

A great way to keep kids safe: Place automatic traffic cameras near schools. After cameras were installed in Toronto: 🔹 Share of vehicles speeding ⬇️ 45% 🔹 85th percentile speed ⬇️ 10.7 km/h Droivers speeding the most were most likely to slow down. injuryprevention.bmj.com/content/inju...

“We Can’t Afford to Wait Before a Super Speeder Kills Another New Yorker or Themselves”: Statement from Transportation Alternatives and Families for Safe Streets After Super Speeder Collides with MTA Bus, is Hospitalized

I interviewed with Crystal Graham of Augusta Free Press in Waynesboro, Virginia. We spoke about many road safety issues and my daughter Robyn's tragic death. Augusta and Waynesboro's bicycle & pedestrian infrastructure, is poor at best. Like so may cities, the priority is given to motor vehicles.

"In late July, one horrific crash claimed two victims on Canal St. and less than 24 hours later, another crash in the same intersection injured two people... Canal St. is undeniably one of the most dangerous corridors in Manhattan."

My daughter Robyn was killed in New York City doing bicycle messenger work on June 24th, 2019 due in part because of unsafe road conditions. I fully support a safer McGuinness Boulevard. @fam4safestreets.bsky.social @familiesforsafestreets.bsky.social @transalt.bsky.social

Another child dead, Nadir Gavarrete, because of delays in infrastructure improvements. I can empathize with Nadir's parents having had one child killed by road violence and nearly the other three weeks later. It does not have to be this way! @fam4safestreets.bsky.social

Everyone should be able to get home safe whether they are driving, walking, biking, taking transit, or moving in whatever way they choose Federal data says that we spend $3.35 per person per year on biking and walking projects - about the price of one gallon of gas - not a massive investment

Great to see Ohio and Washington take meaningful action to address dangerous state-owned roads Especially great to see Ohio's "$25 million Target Speed Pilot, testing low-speed design strategies like curb bump-outs, narrowed lanes and gateway treatments to support 25 mph travel in urban areas"

Canada and the US are both car-centric, spacious countries. But an American is 2.5x more likely to die in a crash than a Canadian – and the gap is widening. My latest, in Bloomberg. 🧵

Grieving families need support, not prosecution. Children should be able to walk safely to and from the store. This horrible perversion of justice. #JusticefortheJenkinsFamily

La #violenciavial esta totalmente normalizada. La llaman accidente de tráfico.

My daughter Robyn is one of these pins. I encourage those who have lost someone or were injured due to traffic violence to share their story on the Families for Safe Streets Community Story Map. This is a link to my daughter's story arcg.is/055LfP0 Please re-skeet! @fam4safestreets.bsky.social

The authors of this study say that Canada is a good model for the US because it also has a similar approach to traffic laws where provinces, rather than the federal government, make the laws In the US, Congress provides NHTSA funding to incentivize the adoption of some laws but incentives are small
