INCENTIVE PROGRAM

The Off-Hour Deliveries (OHD) Incentive Program aims to help businesses switch their deliveries from daytime to nighttime hours. DOT is now offering one-time monetary incentives to help businesses make that transition.

$5M in incentive funding has been secured to reimburse businesses for a range of eligible investments in equipment and systems that enable OHD. Eligible expenses include access enhancements, security equipment, low-noise cargo handling equipment, and green delivery methods (e.g. cargo bikes, EV vans).

The funding is provided through MTA's Central Business District Tolling Program (CBDTP) mitigation program and is part of NYC DOT's larger effort to rethink how the city manages deliveries and better meet the demands of e-commerce.

In addition to incentives, we will provide other forms of support to help participants succeed with OHD, including technical assistance and guidance on best practices. 

The program is open to businesses of all sizes and specifically aims to help smaller businesses that face financial barriers to transitioning to OHD. 

The OHD Incentive Program aims to advance the following goals:

          Traffic Traffic and Emissions Reduction.

          Safety Safety Improvements.

           Sound Noise Mitigation.
