Bill > A06241

This bill requires cities with a population over one million (which would primarily apply to New York City) to conduct a comprehensive study on urban delivery infrastructure improvements, specifically focusing on urban consolidation centers and shared use locker technologies. Urban consolidation centers are defined as facilities that combine multiple deliveries from different suppliers into a central location, while shared use lockers are designated package pickup locations with automated storage systems. The study must explore several key aspects, including reducing truck traffic in residential neighborhoods, assessing how these technologies could serve high-rise buildings and high-pedestrian districts, evaluating the feasibility of operating lockers in public spaces or through public-private partnerships, identifying existing spaces that could be retrofitted for these purposes, and analyzing potential reductions in vehicle miles traveled. The city council must consult with local transportation, planning, and environmental agencies during the study and is required to publish a detailed report online and deliver it to the legislature within one year of the act's effective date. The bill aims to improve urban delivery efficiency, reduce traffic congestion, and explore innovative last-mile delivery solutions.
