Spearheaded by the Adams administration, the $2 million effort, which includes future civic engagement around the survey findings, is being funded by philanthropic groups that include the Ford and Robin Hood Foundations. The 87-page report on the findings and the data was first shared with Gothamist ahead of its public release on Tuesday. HR&A Advisors, a consulting group, coordinated with 80 community groups to help craft survey questions. In addition to the report,from adults surveyed has been made available on a website where users can filter on location and other demographic categories.
Sheena Wright, the city’s deputy mayor for strategic initiatives who spearheaded Adam’s transition team, said the findings from the survey will be used to shape policy. On the issue of public transit, white New Yorkers most frequently picked better maintained subways and buses, while Black New Yorkers favored “feeling safer while riding public transit.” Black and Hispanic New Yorkers were also found to prioritize investment in roads over mass transit and were also least interested in closing streets to pedestrians, according to the report.
“I've been advocating for decades that the city create an ongoing panel survey with a large sample to understand what people's concerns were, what their experiences with public services were and what their life situations were like,” he said.
