As daylight savings time ends on Sunday, 11/2, evening commutes will become darker and more dangerous for pedestrians. We are joining forces with NYPD through our Dusk and Darkness campaign to raise awareness about the heighted dangers to pedestrians during fall evenings. Together we are reminding drivers to slow down and remain vigilant as daylight saving time ends.

Faster, safer, more reliable service for Queens bus riders. We have completed major upgrades to the Hillside Avenue bus lanes. Hillside Avenue is one of the city’s busiest corridors servicing 215,000 daily riders across 22 bus routes – more than the daily ridership for NJ Transit’s rail service! This project represents the first major improvement to Hillside Avenue’s bus lanes in over 50 years, delivering faster travel times, 24/7 camera enforcement, and better curb access for business.
