纽约市议会本周投票通过了禁止马车的提案，禁令将于2028年6月生效1。此举得到市长佐兰·曼达尼的支持，他承诺帮助制定工人过渡计划1。该禁令旨在解决动物福利和公共安全问题，并被命名为"罗曼奇法"，以纪念2023年6月因马车突然奔跑而坠落身亡的18岁游客罗曼奇·马哈詹1。
中央公园目前约有200名马车司机1，他们的年收入约为6万至7万美元1，对禁令表示担忧。运输工人工会指出过渡计划缺乏充分保障，包括明确的补偿承诺，警告工人将面临"经济崩溃"1。许多纽约居民和动物权益组织则对禁令表示欢迎。统计数据显示，自1982年以来，中央公园已有40匹马匹死亡1。目前马匹可每天工作长达9小时，20分钟车程的收费为72.22美元1。
禁令提案包含"行业过渡框架"，涵盖潜在的工作安置、培训、职业咨询和财务补偿等措施1。
New York City Council approved a ban on horse-drawn carriages this week, with the prohibition set to take effect in June 2028 1. The measure is backed by Mayor Zoran Mandani, who has committed to developing a worker transition plan 1. The decision addresses long-standing animal welfare and public safety concerns that prompted the legislation, which has been named "Rohit's Law" after 18-year-old tourist Rohit Mahajan, who died in June 2023 when he fell from a carriage during a sudden runaway incident 1.
Approximately 200 carriage drivers currently operate in Central Park, earning annual incomes between $60,000 and $70,000 1. While the proposed transition framework includes potential job placement, training, career counseling, and financial compensation 1, the Transport Workers Union has raised concerns about the adequacy of these protections, stating that compensation commitments lack guarantees and workers face "economic collapse" 1.
Support for the measure comes from many New York residents and animal rights organizations, who cite documented welfare issues. Since 1982, 40 horses working in Central Park have died 1. Currently, horses are permitted to work up to nine hours daily, with operators charging $72.22 for a 20-minute ride 1.
