Flynn's idea, which was supported only by Councilor Erin Murphy, proposes an amendment to an ordinance passed by City Council in April. Under that earlier ordinance, the city will soon begin requiring third-party restaurant delivery companies like Uber Eats, Grubhub, and DoorDash to obtain new permits in order to continue operating in Boston. It also requires the companies to share new safety data with the city and to provide liability insurance coverage for their drivers.
