Central Park’s Horse-Drawn Carriage Era Is Coming To An End
Romanch's Law sets a deadline for existing licenses to expire and calls for a transition plan for workers and horses. The bill, sponsored by Council Member Christopher Marte, is named for 18-year-old Romanch Mahajan who died in June after being thrown from a horse-drawn carriage. The city would stop issuing licenses for carriage horses, horse-cab and drivers on or after June 1, 2028, and could not be renewed until May 31, 20 28. The law requires a transition plan for carriage owners, drivers, and industry workers, including stable workers. It also requires that horses be humanely placed and prohibits their sale or transfer for inhumane purposes, including slaughter or use in another horse-draw cab business. Carriages have operated in Central Park since 1858 and have faced years of debate over animal welfare and public safety.
