Since taking office, Mayor Warren has focused on "job creation, fostering safer and more vibrant neighborhoods and improving educational opportunities for Rochester’s residents."

Warren has launched several strategic initiatives, including the introduction of a Kiva crowd funding loan program, a Vanpool, support for ride-sharing such as Uber and Lyft, and a market-driven community co-operative called OWN Rochester.

Under Warren's direction, the Rochester Police Department underwent a significant reorganization to implement a neighborhood-based patrol model that converted the patrol structure from two Patrol Divisions (each covering half of the city) to five smaller Patrol Sections.
The RPD also implemented a successful body worn video program during Warren's first term.

Warren convened an early learning council to help expand Pre-K programs in the city.
She also developed a "3 to 3 Initiative" to help children to set three-year-old children on a path to read at grade level by third grade.
To help achieve these goals, she eliminated fines for children's books and materials at city libraries.

Warren's Facebook account was temporarily suspended on December 22, 2014 when pictures of a chat log were shared over the internet and social media.

In December 2016, Warren announced plans to eliminate the city's red light cameras.
The insurance industry objected, citing its own studies which showed that cities that had used red light cameras between 2010 and 2014 had had a 21% drop in the number of fatal red light running crashes, while cities that had stopped using the cameras had had a 30% increase in such deaths.
In response to these studies, Warren justified her decision to remove the cameras by saying, "I reached the conclusion the benefits simply don't justify a further extension... I'm very concerned that too many of these tickets have been issued to those who simply can't afford them, which is counter-productive to our efforts to reverse our city's troubling rates of poverty."
