NYC Expands LockerNYC Pilot With 36 More Sites This Fall, Reaching 70 Locations

City officials will use the final rollout to gauge whether the free, theft-reducing locker pilot should become permanent next year.

Overview

  • The NYC Department of Transportation announced on Sept. 17 that 36 additional locker kiosks will open this fall across all five boroughs, bringing the total to 70 locations, with specific sites to be named later.
  • This expansion completes the pilot’s final phase, and the city plans a formal evaluation next summer to decide the program’s future.
  • Since launching in April 2024, New Yorkers have logged more than 15,000 reservations for package pickup and drop-off through LockerNYC.
  • Created with GoLocker, the free program places secure lockers on sidewalks and inside local businesses to deter package theft and consolidate deliveries.
  • Officials say centralized pickups can cut delivery truck trips, congestion, and greenhouse gases, and residents manage orders at golocker.com and retrieve packages using QR or access codes.
