Cities across the United States are cracking down on the dangerous operation of motorcycles, mopeds, and motorized scooters used by food delivery drivers. Boston officials recently sent a letter to food delivery companies DoorDash, Grubhub, and Uber, citing an 'alarming increase in unlawful and dangerous operation' of these vehicles. The soaring demand for fast food delivery has led to small armies of couriers zipping through traffic and onto pedestrian-filled sidewalks, raising safety concerns. In response, cities are seizing illegal mopeds and scooters amid backlash against delivery drivers.
