B 25-0837 District of Columbia · 25th Council Period (2023-2024)

Department of For-Hire Vehicles Delivery Vehicle Traffic Enforcement Expansion Temporary Amendment Act of 2024

This bill temporarily authorizes the District of Columbia's Department of For-Hire Vehicles to enforce traffic laws against delivery vehicles, such as those used by food and parcel carriers. It updates existing regulations to include these carriers in traffic stop protocols and requires vehicle inspection officers to receive specific training on enforcing rules for this new category of transport. The law also clarifies that officers cannot stop these delivery vehicles without reasonable suspicion of a violation, similar to protections for traditional ride-share drivers. This measure is set to expire after 225 days of being in effect.
