The incentive program, funded through Metropolitan Transportation Authority\u2019s (MTA) Central Business District Tolling Program (CBDTP), is part of the agency\u2019s larger effort to rethink how the city manages deliveries to better meet the demands of e-commerce and an example of new tools NYC DOT will be exploring to help fight congestion across the five boroughs,\u201d NYC DOT said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Officials say the incentives will fund purchases of equipment needed for off-hour deliveries, including \u201clow-noise equipment for delivery vehicles (such as newer hand pallet trucks and backup alarms) to operate quietly at night; building security retrofits to enable unattended deliveries; and safety equipment such as security cameras.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Companies participating in the first phase of the ODH incentive program include Element Brooklyn, Migrant Kitchen, and Tea and Milk.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCongestion pricing is helping combat gridlock in more ways than one. New Yorkers are receiving more deliveries than ever before, so we will be using tolling revenue to make deliveries cleaner, safer, and more efficient,\u201d said\u00a0NYC DOT Commissioner Mike Flynn. \u201cThis incentive program will support local businesses and reduce the number of delivery trucks on our roads during busy daytime hours. It\u2019s just one example of how we will be exploring new tools to help fight congestion across the city.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The New York City Department of Transportation (NYC DOT) announced new incentives for companies that switch to off-hours&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":372393,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[9,24,55,54,56],"class_list":["post-372392","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york-city","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-new-york-city-headlines","tag-new-york-city-news","tag-ny"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/372392","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=372392"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/372392\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/372393"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=372392"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=372392"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=372392"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
