A proposed bill would impose a $3 tax on any online delivery that is not food or medicine in New York City, in an effort to fund the city’s struggling public transportation.
Bill A06078B was proposed by Assemblyman Robert Carroll, a Democrat who won reelection last month. The one-sentence-long bill reads, “Adds a three dollar surcharge on online delivery transactions terminating within the city of New York to be used to fund the operating costs of buses and subways in the city of New York.”
