In response to an uptick in safety concerns linked to food delivery drivers in Boston, Mayor Michelle Wu has proposed an ordinance requiring companies like DoorDash, GrubHub, and Uber to secure permits from the city's transportation department. To obtain these permits, companies must provide liability insurance for their drivers and share delivery data with the city. The move follows over 100 reports of dangerous driving practices by delivery drivers, illustrating a need for stricter oversight and accountability in a rapidly growing gig economy.
Local residents are frustrated with violent delivery violations and report drivers riding too fast, running red lights and sidewalks, endangering everyone on the road.
Boston officials are now targeting large delivery companies, mandating umbrella liability insurance and data sharing for public safety in response to continued traffic violations.
