Mayor Eric Adams is intensifying efforts to improve safety and quality of life in Central Park by expanding the city’s multi-agency “Community Link” program. This move is part of a broader strategy to address rising concerns over unlicensed and aggressive pedicab activity in the iconic park.
The initiative, now operating under the name Central Park Conservancy Partnership, brings together 20 city agencies and cultural institutions to coordinate enforcement and community outreach. The NYPD, Parks Enforcement Patrol, and the Central Park Conservancy’s newly established Ranger Corps will take a leading role in addressing pedicab violations.
These specially trained Central Park Rangers will respond directly to complaints related to pedicabs, helping ensure safe and enjoyable park experiences for all visitors.
In addition, the New York Pedicab Alliance will work alongside the interagency task force to curb bad actors in the industry. The Alliance will also help educate park-goers about their rights and how to report violations, aiming to restore trust and accountability within the pedicab system.
