Amazon Vans Cited Over 14,000 Times in NYC Traffic Crackdown
Amazon's delivery vehicles have been issued over 14,000 citations for traffic violations in New York City between July 2020 and June 2025.
The Alliance for a Greater New York compiled data from the city that shows Amazon-affiliated vans were involved in numerous incidents, including blocking emergency vehicles, obstructing fire hydrants, and speeding in school zones.
New York City official Samuel A.A. Levine, Commissioner of the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection, stated, 'The data is clear: an economy that rewards exploitation and shields powerful corporations from responsibility causes real harm to our communities.'
Amazon has disputed these claims, stating they work with their Delivery Service Partners (DSPs) to promote safe delivery practices and provide training for drivers.
