"An analysis of commuting data from the 2000 Census shows that 5,500 or more auto

First Ever NYC Stroller Report Card
August, 2005
Download the report (PDF)
"From August through October 2005, Transportation Alternatives invited parents and child caregivers to participate in the first
annual stroller report card survey.... Respondents were asked to describe walking around their
neighborhoods with a stroller, with a child (or children) under 10 years old without a stroller and without a stroller or
child (children) under 10 years old.... Parents and caregivers ranked dangerous turning drivers as the number one problem encountered crossing the street
with a stroller and uneven/rough pavement on sidewalks or streets as the number one problem encountered getting
around the neighborhood with a stroller. "
In 1998, T.A. released Streets for People, a how-to manual for people
to use to bring Traffic Calming to their neighborhood. Traffic calming
holds that streets are valuable public space and should be shared
equally by all users. It is a set of street designs and traffic rules
that slow and reduce traffic while encouraging walkers and cyclists to
share the street.

The Bronx Five
Fixing Five of
the Most
Dangerous Intersections for Children in the Bronx
T.A. demonstrates methods for
improving some of the most unsafe intersections in the Bronx.
T.A.
reveals huge inequity in traffic safety spending: cyclists get zero and
pedestrians get little. Transportation Alternatives and the Tri-State
Transportation Campaign's study, The Wrong Foot Forward - 2000, shows
that the City and State Departments of Transportation (NYCDOT and
NYSDOT) are spending very little to make the streets safer for
bicyclists and pedestrians.
Anyone
who has ever walked or driven along the Grand Concourse, Queens Boulevard,
Flatbush Avenue, or Manhattan avenues knows that deadly speeding is rampant on
NYC streets. A 1999 study on Queens Boulevard by the NYC Department of
Transportation found that 25% of motorists exceeded 40 mph – 10 mph over the
speed limit. <more>
