The Department of Transportation (DOT) has started a study to determine the feasibility of running a streetcar route in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Red Hook. This initial analysis will help determine if this mode, once a staple of New York City's streets, is a viable method of connecting the residents and businesses of Red Hook with Brooklyn's broader transportation network and supporting economic development in the area. DOT will produce several interim reports, leading up to a final report.
DOT presented a draft proposal for robust safety improvements on Queens Boulevard between Roosevelt Avenue and 73rd Street. The plan includes protected bicycle lanes, increased pedestrian space and specific safety improvements at intersections, with anticipated implementation in August 2015. This project lays the groundwork for a $100 million capital investment on Queens Boulevard, a Vision Zero Priority Corridor, as part of the de Blasio Administration's Great Streets initiative.

In response to community requests for bicycle and pedestrian improvements on the Pulaski Bridge, DOT proposes building a new bicycle path on the bridge adjacent to the existing shared path. The design includes a new barrier to protect bicyclists from motor vehicles. This proposed path would double the space on the bridge dedicated to bicyclists and pedestrians, enhance safety by separating those two modes and improve access to Long Island City subway stations for Brooklyn residents.

Vision Zero seeks to eliminate all deaths from traffic crashes regardless of whether on foot, bicycle, or inside a motor vehicle. The Borough Pedestrian Safety Action Plans are one of 63 Vision Zero initiatives advancing that goal for all street users. In an effort to drive these fatalities down, DOT and NYPD developed a set of five plans, each of which analyzes the unique conditions of one New York City borough and recommends actions to address the borough's specific challenges to pedestrian safety. Each Borough Plan was shaped by the community input from nine Vision Zero Pedestrian Safety Workshops held across the five boroughs and thousands of comments collected through an interactive Vision Zero Input map.

In May 2008, the Department of Transportation (DOT) suspended street cleaning/alternate side parking (ASP) regulations for the purpose of changing such regulation signs in Park Slope, Brooklyn. The suspension provided DOT an opportunity to compare parking and traffic conditions in a residential neighborhood with and without ASP regulations. To that end, DOT conducted three surveys: (1) to capture changes in parking space occupancy and turnover, (2) traffic counts, and (3) a web-based community survey.
This report presents findings from parking studies conducted in the fall of 2011 around Yankee Stadium in the Bronx and Atlantic Yards in Brooklyn. The study examined the implications of different approaches to curb management generally and a residential parking permit program in particular and provides a comprehensive assessment of parking conditions in these areas as a basis for public discussion and future planning.

In 1988, the New York State Legislature passed a law to allow cities with a population of one million or more to establish a demonstration program to install traffic-control signal photo violation-monitoring systems (red light cameras), which captures images of vehicles going through red light signals at traffic intersections. New York City used this authorization to launch the nation's first program in 1994. The success of red light cameras in enhancing public safety throughout the five boroughs has led to the City's continued interest in additional expansion. Further increasing the total number of red light cameras the City is allowed to use will make this public safety tool even more effective.

The M86 bus corridor was identified as a potential candidate for Select Bus Service. Characterized by slow and crowded trips, the corridor was ranked by the community as one of four corridors most in need of bus improvements. The M86 crosstown bus carries over 25,000 passengers per day, making it the second busiest crosstown bus route and the most crowded bus per mile in New York City. The M86 connects 12 bus routes including the M15SBS, M101, and M4, and crucial connections to the 1, 4, 5, 6, B, and C trains.
