The city will start issuing childcare vouchers to 10,000 low-income children this fall, the first offers off the waitlist in 15 months.
Mayor Mamdani said the Administration for Children's Services will invite waitlisted families to apply on a rolling basis over the coming months, prioritizing homeless families, children with special needs and households under 300% of the federal poverty line [27]. Vouchers cover care at a provider of the family's choice, with no copay [5]. The money is Gov. Hochul's state match, which only flows if the city puts up an equal share; City Hall has not said where its half comes from [93]. Families can now filter the map at nyc.gov/childcare for providers that take vouchers [5].
“I am so proud to announce there is light at the end of the voucher tunnel,”
“There are childcare providers who are struggling to get by, who will keep their doors open,”

GothamistDOT will put bus lanes and protected bike lanes on DeKalb and Lafayette avenues from Broadway to Flatbush Avenue this fall, for the B38's 18,000 daily riders.
The redesign runs almost six miles through Bed-Stuy, Clinton Hill and Fort Greene: curbside bus lanes from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays, a 24-hour offset bus lane on DeKalb between Cumberland Street and Flatbush, and parking- or barrier-protected bike lanes [82]. Today both avenues carry an unprotected bike lane that parked cars block, and the B38 fights double-parkers [82]. The new lanes link to Ashland Place, which reaches the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges [82]. Both local Council members back it [82].
“I support DOT’s proposal to add bus lanes and protected bike lanes on DeKalb and Lafayette Avenues,”
Streetsblog New York CityStarting Oct. 19, a one-way NYC Ferry ride costs $5, up from $4.50, while middle schoolers get discounted trips to school.
The Economic Development Corporation, which runs the ferry, put most of the increase on the single ticket that occasional riders buy; the 10-trip pass goes from $29 to $30, and reduced fares from $1.45 to $1.50 [78]. Students in grades 6 through 8 can now get discount codes through their NYC Schools Account, as high schoolers already do [78]. The EDC cites inflation in operating costs and record ridership this summer [78].
“By minimizing impacts on frequent riders and expanding access to middle school students, we are continuing to grow a ferry system that is accessible, reliable, and responsive to riders’ needs,”

Patricia Waugh, a town administrator in Vermont, got a New York City parking ticket for illegally parking in Queens. The plate belonged to her town's 2015 John Deere excavator, which weighs at least five tons and has never left town limits [84]. She filed her dispute online four times and once by mail, was denied five months later, paid the ticket in protest, and a month after that the city sent it to collections because the check still had not been cashed [84].
