Brewer’s Intro 78 would require delivery apps to share anonymized trip data with city
Summary
Council member Gail Brewer said Intro 78 would require licensed third‑party delivery platforms to provide anonymized trip data to the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection to help the city understand delivery patterns and target safety interventions.
Council member Gail Brewer outlined Intro 78, a bill she said would require licensed third‑party delivery platforms to provide anonymized trip data to the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection so the city can better understand delivery concentrations and platform practices.
"Intro 78 gives New York City the information it needs to make better decisions, hold delivery platforms accountable as I said, and improve safety for everyone," Brewer said. She emphasized the bill is "not about tracking individual workers" but about aggregate patterns that affect street safety.
Brewer said the city currently lacks comprehensive data about where deliveries are concentrated and how platform practices shape traffic and pedestrian risk. The data requirement is intended to support data‑driven decisions about enforcement, street design and worker protections.
Brewer also said she supports a state Commercial Bike Licensing law (cited in transcript as a New Jersey example) and that licensing requirements for commercial e‑bikes may ultimately require state action because vehicle registration and driver licensing are state responsibilities.
