Op-Ed | The Adams administration's report card: a city government that works for all New Yorkers | amNewYork
"Last week, we released the annual Mayor's Management Report our city's report card. It details precisely how much progress we have made over the last fiscal year, between July 1, 2024 and June 30, 2025, and provides updated metrics that track the efforts of city government. Our agencies are being held to the highest standards of efficiency and accountability, and the results are proving it."
"The data reveals that six of the seven major felony crime categories decreased, with additional crime decreases over the same period last year in parks, the transit system, NYCHA, and schools. Murder was down 6 percent, robbery was down 17 percent, and New York City had the fewest shootings of any August in the COMPStat era, marking eight straight months of overall crime decline. This is what it looks like to have a real public-safety strategy that is driving down crime."
"We are also determined to keep people safe as they walk, run, and bike on our streets. Traffic fatalities decreased 24 percent and were down across nearly all categories, marking the third lowest number of total fatalities in five years. We repaired 15 percent more potholes, issued 21 percent more summonses for illegal dumping, and removed over 26,600 vehicles in the last fiscal year alone. We know these pesky quality-of-life issues are important, and we will not stop until bad actors are held accountable."
