As of this writing New York City is on track to break the record for the lowest number of pedestrians killed by motorists in a year. The current low mark of 132 139 deaths was set in 2014, the first year of Mayor de Blasio’s Vision Zero initiative.

Assuming the official numbers bear it out, the de Blasio administration deserves credit for this milestone. Lowering the city’s default speed limit, adopting laws to hold negligent drivers accountable for causing harm, and deploying the maximum number of speed enforcement cameras permitted by Albany have almost certainly helped reduce the death toll.

In addition, in 2015 de Blasio defended the Right of Way Law from attacks by state lawmakers and the Transport Workers Union, which mounted an ugly full-bore campaign to exempt bus drivers from responsibility for striking people in crosswalks. Responding to decades of citizen activism, de Blasio reduced auto traffic in Central Park and Prospect Park, while his DOT began a project that should make notorious Queens Boulevard safer, and announced plans to bring a long-awaited protected bike lane to Amsterdam Avenue. After a series of pedestrian killings at the hands of motorists last fall, the mayor stood with victims of traffic violence and promised to take Vision Zero “a lot farther.”

Another record low number of traffic deaths would surely grab headlines. However, it looks like injuries will remain mostly static from 2014 to 2015. Injury figures are not as prone to random variation and are a more reliable safety indicator than fatalities. To get those numbers down, and to further mitigate needless loss of life, the de Blasio administration will have to fully commit to prioritizing walking, biking, and transit over driving.

Streets that are safer for cyclists tend to be safer for everyone, yet this year DOT backed away from de Blasio’s commitment for 6 percent bicycle mode share by 2020. DOT has shied away from adding bike lanes to streets that are crucial to creating a viable bike network, even when City Council members want them. The agency’s timidity was highlighted this year by the grassroots “Department of Transformation,” which conducts low-cost street reclamations where DOT has failed to act.

Police Commissioner Bill Bratton made clear his attitude toward livable streets when he suggested that the Times Square plazas be ripped out — a public relations disaster de Blasio declined to contain. Given Bratton’s apparent distaste for people-oriented streets, it’s little wonder NYPD has applied the Right of Way Law only a few dozen times since it took effect in 2014. NYPD still investigates a fraction of all traffic crashes, and hit-and-run drivers are almost never brought to justice. In a year when motorists killed at least 15 people on sidewalks and in buildings, NYPD precincts advised seniors to wear bright clothing and focused enforcement on people walking and riding bikes.

There are elements of Vision Zero that are beyond the mayor’s control. He can’t force district attorneys to prosecute driver recklessness. He can lobby Albany for control over city traffic cameras, but he can’t keep know-nothing state legislators from wasting precious time and energy by blaming victims of traffic violence.

But if he wanted, de Blasio could order DOT to amend city traffic rules that police and prosecutors say are an obstacle to enforcing the Right of Way Law. He could make sure DOT doesn’t allow community boards to derail safety projects. He could get all cars out of city parks. He could work with the City Council to fund more street improvements.

“There are a lot of things that have been accepted as the status quo that we should not accept,” the mayor said in November. “We have to jolt that reality, we have to change that to the core.” To make that happen, de Blasio will have to use every tool at his disposal.
