Our officers are cracking down on ghost cars and increasing enforcement in 15 high-priority crash corridors. Enforcement is up 49.2%. Collisions are down 13%. This is real progress, and we're keeping the pressure on.
For 27 years, Sgt. Raymond Ng has played a vital role in keeping NYC safe. His dedication to safety has inspired his children, Aaron and Valerie, to follow in his footsteps and continue his legacy of service. This #AAPIHeritageMonth, we recognize the Ng family.
Congratulations to the hardworking Traffic Safety Officers of the 62 Precinct who were recognized with the TrafficStat award today! Your dedication to keeping our streets safe does not go unnoticed. Well deserved!
Unregistered and untraceable vehicles don’t belong on NYC streets. Our interagency operation is targeting ghost cars because they undermine public safety, evade accountability, and put lives at risk. No registration, no place on the roads.
Flood conditions on the Cross Bronx Expressway at Jerome Avenue have been cleared, and all lanes are now open to traffic.
Due to flooding conditions on the Cross Bronx Expressway at Jerome Avenue both directions are blocked. Consider alternate routes and expect delays.

Safer roadways save lives. This year, deadly car crashes are down 32% in NYC, but we can't stop there. The NYPD will continue to enforce and educate on traffic safety until Vision Zero is no longer a vision — it's a reality. gothamist.com/news/traffic-d…
UPDATE: All lanes are now open on the Cross Bronx Expressway. Expect residual delays in the area.

Captain Larry Meyers & Director Shawn Alsop recently attended the Global Road Safety Leadership Course hosted by @BloombergDotOrg, @JohnsHopkinsSPH & @GRSPsafety. Proud to partner in #VisionZero, advancing road safety leadership to save lives!
