Brad has been a champion for public transit and safe streets for over two decades. Following a devastating crash outside his City Council district office that killed two children, Brad relentlessly spearheaded the passage of the Reckless Driver Accountability Act, which takes an evidence-backed, restorative justice approach to changing driver behavior and holding reckless drivers accountable.

Brad also advocated successfully for dozens of projects to make streets and intersections safer, created new pedestrian plazas, and utilized an innovative approach to participatory budgeting to win a long-overdue elevator for the 7th Avenue F/G station in his district.

As Comptroller, Brad led the charge to implement Congestion Pricing to reduce traffic and carbon emissions, create safer streets, and fund critical service and accessibility improvements for the subway system that serves as the lifeblood of New York City.

Brad has released hard-hitting audits and reports that have had a real impact: driving more effective enforcement of scofflaw drivers and “ghost” plates, improving Citi Bike service and oversight of the City’s Ferry system, and driving City agencies’ efforts to reduce crash claims.
