1. Published May 12, 2026 OMB supports the agency's position as follows: This request has already been completed. Explanation: DOT's Traffic Planning and Management Division conducted a traffic study which showed that the left turn movement from Clove Road to Tioga Street, and from Clove Road to Howard Avenue, were the least-made movements by motorists at both approaches. Consequently, DOT eliminated these turning movements to improve traffic flow and motorist safety.

This investment will allow an additional 2,000 youth to be served.

The program had more than 400 students in the fall of 2024 and with this funding can serve over 500 students. Career Choice/Workforce Ready: This new program builds off the success of College Choice and connects young people in foster care who do not go to a two or four-year college but are participating in vocational and job readiness training with financial and social support as vocational and job readiness training. This funding will also allow for an expansion to DYCD’s Advance and Earn program.

2. Published June 30, 2026 This request has already been completed. Explanation: We appreciate this question and agreed that these programs needed to be expanded due to the large take up by youth. This past year, we invested $163 million in the youth safety and success initiative, for you youth in and transitioning out of foster care and services to help prevent justice involvement. This initiative expands 4 programs and creates one new one: Fair Futures: This first-of-its-kind program already serves more than 4,000 young people by connecting youth in foster care and the juvenile justice system between the ages of 11-26 with tutoring and coaching to build life skills, set academic and career goals and more. This investment will allow an additional 2,000 youth to be served. College Choice: Established in 2022, this program offers college tuition, room and board assistance, individualized support and stipends for young people in foster care. The program had more than 400 students in the fall of 2024 and with this funding can serve over 500 students. Career Choice/Workforce Ready: This new program builds off the success of College Choice and connects young people in foster care who do not go to a two or four-year college but are participating in vocational and job readiness training with financial and social support as vocational and job readiness training. This funding will also allow for an expansion to DYCD’s Advance and Earn program. (40 slots which equate to 80 youth via expansion of DYCD’s Advance and Earn Program & 232 stipends for eligible youth) • Girls JustUs: A highly-successful gender-responsive juvenile justice diversion program that currently operates in Brooklyn will now be expanded to Queens and the Bronx. (24 additional girls will be served via this expansion) • Assertive Community Engagement and Success (ACES): A program that provides evidence-based services to high-risk youth who have been involved with the justice system. The program provides social pathways away from gang and gun violence to young people between the ages of 16-24. This program beginning in FY 27, will now be expanded city wide and will allow over 400 more young people to take part each year. This answer reads the same as the one published May 12, 2026.
