Prohibits third-party food delivery platforms from using algorithms that encourage unsafe e-bike and scooter operation.

The bill, known as the "safe delivery act," amends the general business law to enhance safety for third-party food deliveries. It prohibits third-party food delivery platforms from using algorithms that promote unsafe operation of e-bikes and scooters. Specifically, it bans algorithms that incentivize deliveries faster than achievable by a bicycle with electric assist or electric scooter traveling at over 15 mph while observing traffic laws. The bill also limits penalties for delivery workers violating traffic laws to $5 per violation, documented by a traffic camera.
