Chair Abreu asks about Vision Zero report and confiscation proposal

New York City Council · Sep 30, 2026 · starts 1:54:41 · 1 min 40 sec

Abreu quotes the Vision Zero Reimagined report on removing illegal devices and asks if any agency opposes it, and they say no, and discuss equitable enforcement.

Shaun Abreu

I will now transition to my next set of questions, which is, first, I want to quote again from the Visions Zero Reimagined report.

Shaun Abreu

One of the Adamant stated goals is to perform, and quote, removal of illegal and unlicensed micromobility devices from city streets,

Shaun Abreu

and quote, conduct targeted street sweeps and confiscation operations in areas with high concentrations of uncertified devices.

Shaun Abreu

Do any of the agencies at this table oppose this part of the mayor's proposal?

Shaun Abreu

That's in the Vision Zero Management Report.

Shaun Abreu

Just want to just get that on the record.

Mike Flynn

No, I think...

Shaun Abreu

Okay, all right.

Shaun Abreu

So will it be implemented equitably?

Mike Flynn

We look to center equity in the way we approach all of our, whether it's design, enforcement, outreach.

Mike Flynn

So, yes.

Shaun Abreu

What does equitable enforcement look like in terms of the confiscations and the sweeps?

Mike Flynn

I just want to make sure, and you support, does the PD support the mayor's proposals?

Mike Flynn

Yes.

Shaun Abreu

Okay.

And the key is to do this, right, to your point, in a fair way, in a data-driven way.

Unidentified speaker

We can't be everywhere all the time, right?

Unidentified speaker

There has to be, this isn't half made about resources and deployment, and the key is to do that in a way that is data-driven.

Unidentified speaker

Not anecdotal, but where are we seeing concentrations when it comes to enforcement in terms of injuries, crashes, and deaths?

Unidentified speaker

And that should drive the decision.

Shaun Abreu

So you're referring to objective measures?

Shaun Abreu

Yes.

Shaun Abreu

All right.
