Micro-distribution centers for distributing goods via sustainable modes of transportation.

A Local Law in relation to micro-distribution centers for distributing goods via sustainable modes of transportation

The bill would require the Department of Transportation (DOT) to issue a request for expressions of interest (RFEI) from entities interested in facilitating, operating or using micro-distribution centers and to seek feedback on potential challenges and opportunities. Before December 31, 2022, DOT would be required to report on the RFEI, and the feedback received, and make recommendations to the Council and the Mayor as to how the City can encourage and facilitate micro-distribution centers. Following the release of the report, DOT would be required to establish a micro-distribution center pilot program.
