Tom DeVito is the National Director of Families for Safe Streets, with 12 years of experience in transportation and safety advocacy. He helped launch Families for Safe Streets in New York during his first tenure at Transportation Alternatives (2013–2020), and later served as Senior Policy Manager for the Bluebikes and Citi Bike public bikeshare systems in Boston and New York (2020–2023). A skilled community organizer and strategist, Tom has played a key leadership role in many major policy wins such as New York City’s speed limit reductions (including the passage of Sammy’s Law), the 14th Street busway, congestion pricing, expanded funding for safer street designs and the passage of the Streets Master Plan, and growing the largest speed safety camera program in North America. He returned to Families for Safe Streets in 2023 to lead its national growth through a new strategic plan.
