The proposed ban threatens the livelihoods of drivers in the Central Park carriage industry, who state that the legislation could dismantle their businesses. Supporters of the ban argue that eliminating the industry would protect both the public and the horses.

Horse-drawn carriages have operated in Central Park for over 160 years.
