B 25-0416 District of Columbia · 25th Council Period (2023-2024)

Department of For-Hire Vehicles Delivery Vehicle Traffic Enforcement Expansion Amendment Act of 2023 (now known as "Carrier-for-Hire Oversight and Enforcement Act of 2024")

This bill updates the District of Columbia's regulations to bring food and parcel delivery services, commonly known as carriers-for-hire, under the oversight of the Department of For-Hire Vehicles. It requires these delivery companies and their individual operators to register with the Department and establishes rules for verifying vehicles and disclosing data. The legislation also sets standards for how delivery services identify themselves, including requirements for uniforms or branding on vehicles and non-motorized transport. Additionally, the act mandates background checks for operators, outlines insurance requirements, and aims to encourage the use of sustainable delivery methods like bicycles and electric vehicles. Finally, it repeals the older Commercial Bicycle Operators Licensing Act to align regulations with modern delivery practices.
