NYC debuts free public locker storage to deter package theft, delivery truck traffic

The city has launched Wednesday a new pilot program offering free public locker storage for secure package deliveries on Big Apple sidewalks, aiming to crack down both on rampant package theft and a major uptick in delivery truck traffic.

Big green lockers manufactured by local startup GoLocker have been placed at five locations in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens, with two more to come as part of a yearlong pilot for the secure locker tech.
