New York City leaders are advancing proposals to regulate e-bike speeds and improve conditions for delivery workers. The Department of Transportation plans a public hearing on a proposal to cap e-bike speeds at 15 mph amid concerns that this could hinder cycling growth. Concurrently, the City Council will vote on bills addressing the working conditions of grocery delivery app workers, expanding coverage under the city's delivery minimum wage law. These legislative efforts respond to identified loopholes and aim to enhance worker protections while addressing safety concerns on city streets.
Mayor Adams's controversial rule proposal to cap e-bike speed-limits at 15 mph has drawn extensive feedback, indicating concerns about potential setbacks for cycling as a transportation option.
Concurrent legislation by Speaker Adrienne Adams aims to address working conditions for grocery delivery workers, extending the 2021 delivery minimum wage law to cover grocery deliveries and closing the 'Instacart loophole'.
