What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Clean air advocates urged state and city legislators to pass bills, including the Clean Deliveries Act and Intro 53, to increase corporate accountability and enforce pollution mitigation for large delivery firms. These bills specifically target corporations such as Amazon and FedEx. The Clean Deliveries Act has passed the state Senate and is pending approval by the Assembly.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The legislation focuses on last-mile delivery operations within New York City, which handles over 2.5 million packages daily. Last-mile facilities are located in densely populated areas, raising concerns about air quality and traffic crashes. The proposed Delivery Protection Act would establish a licensing system that could fundamentally change the small businesses currently operating in the last-mile network.
