Flynn on thinking big and delivering transformational change
Flynn emphasizes DOT is moving with urgency under the Mamdani administration, scaling up protected bike lanes, bus lanes, pedestrian spaces, and improving state of good repair across all assets.
As I said in March, we're thinking big and being bold.
Less than five months into this administration, DOT is moving with urgency and ambition to make our streetscape the envy of the world.
We're advancing major projects, getting shovels in the ground, and raising the bar for what New Yorkers should expect from their streets and from DOT.
Our commitment is simple, deliver transformational change that New Yorkers can see and feel.
With Mayor Mamdani's partnership and the additional resources committed by this administration, we're positioned to aim higher, move faster, and deliver at the highest level.
Because at the center of this work are people.
The infrastructure we build and maintain is ultimately about protecting and serving New Yorkers, making streets safer, buses faster, transportation more affordable and sustainable, and public spaces more welcoming and accessible.
That's why we're scaling up protected bike lanes.
It's why we're expanding protected bus lanes and bus priority.
It's why we're creating more space.
for pedestrians, and it's why we're working around the clock to improve the state of good repair and the safe operations of all of our assets with efficiency and technical rigor.
Roadways, sidewalks, bridges, traffic signals and street lights, and the Staten Island Ferry, among other things.
We're putting people before politics and laser focused on achieving the on the ground results that New Yorkers expect.
In March, I reviewed many of our accomplishments of ongoing work from previous years and highlighted our top priorities for my first year on the job.
Today, I'll provide updates on a few of those priorities and some of the key changes in our executive budget.
