""It was always backward policy to give out criminal summonses to New Yorkers on bikes, when car drivers only receive traffic tickets for the same infractions, and we're glad that Mayor Mamdani has reversed the previous administration's mistake.""
""New York has the potential to become a world-class bicycling city - we should be making it easier and safer for New Yorkers to get around by bike, and we're encouraged that the new leadership of DOT is committed to making that a reality.""
Mayor Mamdani ordered the NYPD to stop issuing criminal summonses to cyclists and e-bike riders for low-level moving violations. Before this change, approximately 40 New Yorkers daily received summonses. Advocates criticized the previous administration's enforcement as detrimental to street safety and sustainable transportation. The NYPD issued 3,595 criminal summonses through March 31, a decrease from the previous quarter but still significantly higher than prior years. The new leadership aims to promote safer cycling in New York City.
