"As New Yorkers prepare to vote, one issue quietly shapes nearly every aspect of city life: how we move. Streets, subways, buses, taxis, and for-hire vehicles do not always capture as much attention as housing or public safety, but the next mayor will have tremendous influence over the transportation systems that affect millions of residents, workers, and visitors every day."
"Based at the City College of New York and representing the U.S. Department of Transportation Region II, the UTRC was established in 1987 to advance research, education, and technology transfer in transportation. The goal of the report and the accompanying palm card distributed to voters is to provide a clear comparison of the leading candidatesAndrew Cuomo, Zohran Mamdani, and Curtis Sliwa across transportation issue areas. The methodology follows the same approach used in previous editions from 2013 and 2021."
"Each report is peer-reviewed by transportation experts and based primarily on publicly available materials, including campaign platforms, legislation, press statements, official records as well as responses to surveys from the candidates' campaigns. The palm card offers a one-page overview of candidate positions, serving as a reference for voters and policymakers. The next mayor will inherit an ambitious and complex transportation agenda."
The University Transportation Research Center (UTRC) produced a comparative analysis of mayoral transportation records and proposals for Andrew Cuomo, Zohran Mamdani, and Curtis Sliwa. The analysis uses publicly available materials—campaign platforms, legislation, press statements, official records—and candidate survey responses, and is peer-reviewed by transportation experts. A palm card synthesizes findings into a one-page overview of candidate positions for voters and policymakers. The methodology follows approaches from prior 2013 and 2021 editions. The next mayor will inherit an ambitious, complex transportation agenda that includes expanding zero-emission requirements and ongoing reforms to streets, subways, buses, taxis, and for-hire vehicles.
