With statistics showing e-bikes responsible for 75% of bicycle-related deaths in 2023, Cuomo emphasizes the urgency for regulations. His plan includes mandating city registration for e-bikes and e-scooters, equipping them with identification plates, and holding food delivery apps accountable for accidents. Additionally, he advocates for revising payment structures to de-incentivize reckless driving among delivery workers to improve overall safety for pedestrians and riders.
