It’s no secret: Bike ridership is booming across New York City.

 Take a look at these increases:

• On the Brooklyn Bridge, June ridership was up 31% from last June and July 2024 ridership is up 22% from last year.

• Even before the G train shutdown, Pulaski Bridge bike counts were up. June was up 63%, while July was up 60%.

• Willis Avenue Bridge ridership was up 21% in July.

• Each month, bike ridership across the Queensboro Bridge is nearly 100,000 more than a decade ago.

Flatbush streets are not safe, especially for people walking, biking, and taking the bus. This week, alongside Riders Alliance, elected officials, and a coalition of transit, climate, and labor advocates, we supported a new, community-driven campaign for a bus lane down Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn.

Red light cameras are critical for preventing crashes from running lights, but New York City’s successful red light camera program will expire this year. Without immediate legislative action, we risk losing this vital safety measure.
