The New York City Council has passed several bills focused on e-bike safety, including a significant measure holding third-party delivery services accountable for the conduct of their riders. If approved, delivery companies such as Uber Eats and GrubHub would require licenses issued by the Department of Transportation, ensuring compliance with safety regulations designed to protect pedestrians and e-bike riders. This includes providing certified batteries and conducting safety training for drivers. The initiative aims to mitigate dangers posed by reckless e-bike use, offering a structured approach to the growing concerns around micromobility devices in the city.
This legislation will get at the root of the problem to keep both pedestrians and e-bike riders safe, bringing long-overdue regulations to the app-based delivery industry.
Delivery companies would need to adhere to safety regulations, ensuring that drivers use safe devices and certified batteries, follow traffic rules, and complete safety training.
