StreetsPAC is a political action committee dedicated to improving the safety, mobility and livability of one of New York City’s greatest assets: its streets. Our sidewalks, roadways and plazas account for the majority of all public space in the five boroughs, and are a precious resource to be shared and enjoyed by all. 

We took the political world by storm in New York City's 2013 municipal elections, endorsing 21 candidates in the September primary, 16 of whom were victorious, and an additional six in the general election, five of whom also won. On the ground, we registered and turned out voters, and built grassroots support for Mayor Bill de Blasio's Vision Zero program to eliminate traffic deaths. During the 2017 city election cycle, 16 of the 23 candidates we endorsed won their races.

More recently, in the 2018 general election, our endorsees were a perfect 10 for 10 in races for the New York State Senate and Assembly, and in 2020, all 21 of the candidates we endorsed in the general election won their races, including five new members of the Legislature whom we backed in highly competitive primary races.

Founded by a team of the city’s most committed advocates, StreetsPAC backs candidates who support redesigning city streets to prioritize safety; increased and improved transit access for all New Yorkers; parking and toll reform; more thorough crash investigations; and better, more equitable enforcement of traffic laws, especially through increased deployment of automated speed and red-light cameras.

Please donate today to help us continue this critical work in 2021 and beyond!

StreetsPAC is registered with the New York State Board of Elections and the New York City Campaign Finance Board.

• Safer Streets and Better Transit Aren't Just Good Policy – They're Good Politics!

  Posted by Eric McClure · November 05, 2025 4:56 PM

  Yesterday's citywide election put the exclamation point on something we've said for a long time: safer streets and better public transit aren't just good policy – they're good politics!

  While there are myriad reasons why Zohran Mamdani – Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani – won a historic victory last night, including a platform that clearly resonated with voters, unparalleled organizing and ground game, and impeccable message discipline, his embrace of public transit, micro-mobility, and progressive transportation policy played a key role. Fast, free buses were at the top of his pitch to New Yorkers, and his ubiquitous campaign videos frequently showed him riding the subway or a bus or a Citi Bike. It all felt so authentic because that's how he really gets around, and because he truly is passionate about transit and cycling.

  

  Up and down the ballot, StreetsPAC's endorsees won not in spite of their embrace of these issues, but at least in part because of it. And their victories, especially Mayor-elect Mandani's, herald what could be a transformative new era in city transportation policy. While it's important to not let expectations run away from reality, the vibes, to be sure, are immaculate.

  Mayor-elect Mamdani's candidacy was supported by numerous street-safety advocates early on. He sat down in the spring for a robust "ask me anything" session organized by Alex "Miser" Duncan with the 37,000-plus-member MicromobilityNYC community on Reddit, which has grown into a political force in its own right. As his campaign progressed following his resounding win in the Democratic primary, Mr. Mamdani demonstrated that our fight was his fight, promising to complete a long list of street-safety and transit projects that foundered or were outright abandoned by the Adams administration. And he famously corrected a heckler that "it's pronounced 'cyclist!'."

  While the hard part of winning an intense election is over, the other hard part of governing is just getting started. Mayor-elect Mamdani announced a top-notch leadership team for his transition today, and StreetsPAC will offer whatever support we can as his nascent administration develops plans for implementing its transportation policies.

  We also want to offer or congratulations and gratitude to all of our endorsees, including Shirley Aldebol, who won an upset victory in the Bronx's 13th Council District, and Ben Chou, who couldn't quite do the same in Queens's 19th District, but gave it a spirited shot. Overall, 17 of our 18 endorsees won their races. We're also deeply appreciative of all the dozens of candidates who put in the time and effort to participate in our endorsement process.

  All of us at StreetsPAC are excited for what comes next in New York City. You can help us continue our work here and as we look to statewide elections in 2026, by supporting us with a contribution. Thank you!
