Tuesday, January 28, 2025 · 10:00 AM AM · Committee Room - City Hall

TL;DR

The committee discussed air quality problems caused by delivery trucks and other vehicle traffic on heavily-used city streets, which affects the health of New Yorkers living and working nearby. Two new laws were introduced to require better air quality monitoring on busy routes and to regulate businesses that create pollution indirectly through their shipping and delivery operations.
