  • Raised crosswalks and speed reducers have proven effective for traffic calming in NYC and other cities
  • The study will examine needs of different school zones based on factors like traffic volume and accident history
  • The DOT must report findings to the mayor and council speaker to ensure accountability and transparency
  • Schulman urges support for the bill to create a safer environment for students
