Boston’s Crackdown on Food-App Delivery Drivers

The Boston City Council is toying with the idea of a new food delivery tax, that’s part of the city’s efforts to crackdown on food-app delivery drivers and their “dangerous” and at times “unlawful” driving. The Council is weighing an amendment to Boston Mayor Wu’s “road safety and accountability for delivery providers ordinance” that would add a 15-cent delivery fee per order for national third-party food delivery companies like Uber Eats, Grubhub, and others that operate in Boston. Opponents of the measure fear the tax would hurt consumers and restaurants.
