Mayor Wu announced a new permit that would be required for third-party food delivery companies to operate in the city.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu said Monday she has filed an ordinance with the Boston City Council requiring food delivery apps such as DoorDash, UberEats, and GrubHub to get a permit to operate in the city.

The city of Boston says the popularity of food-delivery apps is driving up the number of vehicles on the streets and causing safety concerns. Mayor Michelle Wu wants to require companies like Grubhub and DoorDash to provide liability insurance to all their drivers and share details on what routes drivers are traveling most often.
