Commissioner Jessica Tisch explains how the Department of Sanitation manages street sweeping operations and evaluates cleanliness.

  • The department uses daily street cleaning assignments based on regulations and schedules
  • Field staff analyze data to evaluate routing efficiency, and supervisors survey areas
  • A major challenge is vehicles that do not move for alternate side parking
  • The department supports state legislation for automated ticketing on street sweepers
  • Cleanliness assessments involve surveying areas after sweeping operations
  • Technology like GPS is utilized to monitor street sweeper routes and cleanliness standards
