Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.A new pilot program launching this summer will install public package lockers on city streets in an effort to minimize package thefts and reduce delivery truck trips, Department of Transportation officials announced on Friday.
The program aims to reduce package thefts by providing an alternative for New Yorkers who live in buildings without secure areas for package delivery. According to DOT data, 90,000 packages are stolen or lost in transit in New York City every day. “We think it's both a win for public safety and a win for traffic in the environment,” DOT Deputy Commissioner Eric Beaton told Gothamist.
