The Department of Sustainable Delivery has been created to address illegal moped and e-bike riding in New York City. Mayor Eric Adams and NYC Department of Transportation announced that up to 45 peace officers will be hired to enforce commercial cycling laws and moving violations. Funding for this initiative is included in the Fiscal Year 2026 Budget. Adams is advocating for legislation to revoke licenses of delivery services that incentivize unsafe riding practices by requiring rapid delivery times. Additionally, a speed limit of 15 mph for e-bikes and scooters is proposed to enhance safety.
The Department of Sustainable Delivery aims to enforce legal riding practices for e-bikes and mopeds, targeting illegal operations and enhancing roadway safety in New York City.
Funding from the Fiscal Year 2026 Adopted Budget will facilitate the hiring of 45 new peace officers to monitor and enforce moving violation laws, particularly among commercial delivery workers.
Mayor Adams seeks to establish safe delivery time parameters and allow the city to revoke licenses of delivery apps that promote reckless riding through unreasonably fast service requirements.
A proposed maximum speed limit of 15 mph for e-bikes and scooters is also part of the initiative to regulate safe operation and parking of these vehicles.
