Q&A

Chair Abreu asks about infrastructure features of crash locations

New York City Council · Sep 30, 2026 · starts 1:40:49 · 1 min 21 sec

Abreu asks if DOT tracks infrastructural features of locations where serious crashes occur, and Flynn says they do a robust post-crash process and will follow up with specific breakdowns.

Shaun Abreu

Does the administration track the infrastructural features of locations where serious and fatal micromobility-involved crashes occur?

Shaun Abreu

For example, do you know what percentage of crashes occur on streets without protected bike infrastructure, without adequate street lighting, without traffic calming measures, etc.?

Mike Flynn

Thank you, Chair.

Mike Flynn

So we do a really robust post-crash process.

Mike Flynn

We have a team that goes out following NYPD to inspect the scene of a serious or fatal crash.

Mike Flynn

They look to identify any immediate fixes that are needed, and then our safety planning team will develop any medium-term improvements that can address either that fatality or crash or just other issues.

Mike Flynn

We certainly do a series of different kinds of studies looking at different aspects of safety, whether it's correlating it to the type of bike infrastructure or other kinds of infrastructure.

Mike Flynn

I don't think I have the numbers here.

Shaun Abreu

So let's first say that you do, but the administration does track infrastructural features of locations.

Shaun Abreu

Where serious and fatal micromobility-involved crashes occur, correct?

Mike Flynn

Yes.

Shaun Abreu

Okay, and if you can please follow up with my office with those specific breakdowns.

Shaun Abreu

That would be very helpful.

Mike Flynn

Happy to.
