As families get ready for the start of the school year, the city’s Department of Transportation wants New Yorkers to take all precautions on roadways.

The agency has already finished 15 safety projects near schools and has another 29 projects underway.

The DOT is encouraging all schools to apply to have adjacent streets converted into open streets during school hours for safer drop-offs and pickups as well as outdoor recreation.
