With the coronavirus pandemic putting the brakes on demand for rideshares, the Big Apple is recruiting idled drivers with TLC licenses to help deliver meals to homebound residents and make some money along the way.

“The World is changing around us and many of you are without work as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic,” the Taxi & Limousine Commission said in an email to licensees Monday announcing DeliveryTLC, according to Tech Crunch.

“You are a top priority for the TLC and we recognize that you are among the hardest hit by this public health crisis. As we look at all possible ways to help you and as we assess needs citywide, we ask for your assistance and participation in the City’s response.”

The gigs pay $15 an hour, as well as reimbursement for gas mileage and tolls, according to the site.

In the city, Uber, Lyft and Via drivers earn a minimum of $27.86 an hour, by law, with an allocation for expenses — which comes out to roughly $17.22 an hour.

“New York City’s for-hire vehicle drivers have seen their earnings plummet amid this pandemic. Drivers are ready to step up to help the city in this time of great need,” Independent Drivers Guild chief Brendan Sexton said in a statement, Tech Crunch reported.

“We are thankful that the city sees the value in this workforce and appreciate the Commissioner’s hard work to make DeliveryTLC a reality.”

Drivers can sign up at http://www.nyc.gov/DeliveryTLC for the jobs, which will be offered on a first-come, first-serve basis.
