Peter Gay, a resident, health-care worker and former gig worker, told Community Board 11 that drivers for app-based platforms face deactivation and algorithmic penalties that can remove income overnight. He urged the board to support legislation he identified in testimony as "1 3 3 2 - 2 5 20 25," which he said would provide "fair and transparent protections for app-based, delivery workers."

"Deactivation isn't a small inconvenience. It's...being fired overnight," Peter Gay said, describing reliance on platform work and the safety impacts of pressure to rush on local corridors such as Pelham Parkway and White Plains Road.

Board members replied that Community Boards traditionally do not sponsor or adopt city legislation; staff advised that individuals can contact elected officials directly and that board members may support legislation in their personal capacities. The chair suggested interested board members look up the bill and contact their elected officials independently.

Outcome: The speaker's testimony was recorded and board staff advised procedural limits on board action; no formal board endorsement of the bill was made. Community members were encouraged to contact elected officials and to supply the board office with relevant documents if a formal local advocacy request is later proposed.
