The New York City Department of Transportation (USA) has launched a mandatory safety training program for bicycle couriers. All individuals working as delivery drivers for platforms must complete the “Do You Deliver?” course. The training, available online, focuses on traffic regulations, safe cycling, and safe battery charging practices (aimed at preventing fires in homes).
Under the new law, platforms are required to verify that their employees have completed this training. They are also required to provide employees with safety-critical equipment.
The Department of Transportation also announced that it will require data from platforms regarding travel times and potential accidents. This will allow delivery times to be established in the future, and drivers will no longer be forced to drive unsafely by the algorithm.
