New York City Council votes to end Central Park horse carriages by 2028
The New York City Council passed Romanch's Law by a 40-7 vote, phasing out horse-drawn carriages in Central Park by June 1, 2028, months after an 18-year-old tourist died in a carriage incident.
The New York City Council voted 40-7 on Thursday to phase out the city's horse-drawn carriage industry, ending one of Central Park's best-known tourist attractions by June 1, 2028.
The measure, known as Romanch's Law, stops the issuance of new carriage licenses, requires a transition plan for drivers and small business owners, and protects retired horses from being slaughtered or transferred to other carriage companies.
It is named after Romanch Mahajan, an 18-year-old tourist who died after being thrown from a runaway carriage in Central Park in June. The law was the result of a deal between Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Council Speaker Julie Menin and passed with a veto-proof majority.
The Transport Workers Union Local 100, which represents carriage drivers and opposed the ban over job losses, has said it intends to challenge the law in court.
