The Office of Operations is responsible for a wide range of initiatives. Below, please find an overview of some of the initiatives we oversee. Click a program to learn more.
Vision Zero
Operations tracks all initiatives related to the Vision Zero Action Plan, the City’s blueprint to end traffic fatalities and injuries on New York City streets. Operations also manages the production of the annual Vision Zero progress report. See the annual reports along with other Vision Zero reports on the Vision Zero website.
In addition, Operations convenes the Vision Zero Task Force, bringing all agencies involved in Vision Zero together to give project updates, exchange ideas, share best practices, consider new policies, and make improvements to existing initiatives.
The Vision Zero agencies include representatives from the New York City Police Department, the Department of Transportation, the Taxi and Limousine Commission, the Department of Citywide Administrative Services, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, the Law Department, the Office of Management and Budget, the District Attorneys' offices, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, and the Business Integrity Commission.
Report & Advisory Board Review Commission
The Report and Advisory Board Review Commission is an interagency commission, chaired by Operations, that reviews existing reporting and meeting requirements and makes recommendations as to how these could be altered or streamlined. The goal of the Commission is to remove redundant, irrelevant, or otherwise unnecessary requirements to improve government efficiency and reduce the amount of time agencies and offices spend on reports and advisory boards.
Scorecard: Street & Sidewalk Cleanliness Ratings
The Scorecard inspection program utilizes a team of inspectors who receive training to rate street and sidewalk cleanliness based on “acceptability” metrics updated in 2024 to reflect current attitudes toward cleanliness.
Each sanitation district receives a monthly grade representing the percent of streets deemed “acceptable.” In addition, the city’s 76 Business Improvement Districts receive quarterly scores. The City publishes these scores in the Mayor’s Management Report, Citywide Performance Reporting, Mayor’s Office of Operations website, and NYC Open Data.
Customer service is central to the work of the Office of Operations and we lead several customer service initiatives.
Business Owner Bill of Rights
The Business Owner Bill of Rights ensures NYC business owners fair, courteous treatment, clear inspection processes, access to multilingual services, and the ability to contest violations or provide feedback.
Business owners, business employees, or New Yorkers who have recently contacted or visited NYC agencies can provide feedback and comments by completing the NYC Customer Service Survey. Your feedback helps agencies improve service quality.
CORE Facility Inspection Program
The CORE (Customers Observing and Reporting Experience) program evaluates the conditions and customer service at over 300 NYC walk-in service centers. Inspectors assess 11 physical conditions and four customer service elements, providing ratings for cleaning, maintenance, and overall facility performance.
Customer Service Awards
Established in 2008, the Citywide Excellence in Customer Service Awards honor exceptional front-line employees and teams from over 20 agencies for their commitment to superior public service. An annual October ceremony recognizes honorees who embody the City's values of timeliness, respect, fairness, and accuracy.
