Mayor Mamdani's Executive Order from March 2026

The Executive Order says that minor bike offenses will no longer be criminally charged. Thus reversing the efforts of NYPD Commissioner Tisch and what the Adams administration sought to do to address the lawless bike and micro transport environment. The Mayor proposes to let Transportation Alternatives over see the reformation of the sofflaws. Fancy that. TA pushed Vision Zero. Opposing enforcement by the NYPD. Undermining the NYPD and unleashing an envoronment of no accountability and daily danger. The congestion gave a platform for congestion tax. This promoted former Mayor Bloomberg's vision of NYC as a "Luxury destination." Meanwhile cycling is more and more a vehicle for the wealthy-as the unaffordablity crisis forces many to vacate the city.****https://www.nyc.gov/mayors-office/news/2026/03/mayor-mamdani-announces-end-to-criminal-enforcement-for-minor-tr
