""We fully expect Amazon to deflect and deny responsibility for the damage its inflicting upon millions of New Yorkers, but facts don't lie. This company is driving down safety and workplace standards for the entire last-mile industry, and the best way to address this problem is by passing the Delivery Protection Act.""
""The city's open data provided 1,553 license plates associated with Amazon. Between 2021 and 2025, those vehicles received 2,696 'No Standing' tickets, 906 tickets for blocking a bike lane and 2,183 tickets for blocking a hydrant.""
""Assuming the higher enforcement rate, those 1,553 trucks had about 90,313 violations. At the 2.87-percent ticketing rate, the number of violations on those trucks is above 330,000 in the four-year period.""
Amazon faces minimal accountability for parking violations, with a report from Teamsters Local 804 indicating that illegal parking and high driver turnover compromise safety. The analysis reveals that between 2021 and 2025, Amazon vehicles accumulated thousands of parking tickets, yet enforcement rates are alarmingly low. The report suggests that the proliferation of last-mile warehouses contributes to increased injury rates and calls for the Delivery Protection Act to improve safety and workplace standards in the industry.
