洛杉矶县人行道摊贩餐车计划扩容 新增30辆「生食现烹」餐车开放申请
洛杉矶县经济发展机会部（DEO）10月16日宣布，县人行道摊贩餐车计划扩容申请即日开放，新增30辆可现场烹饪生鲜食材的餐车，全县合资格摊贩可免费申领，全县可用餐车总数增至341辆。
县政府表示，新型「生食现烹」餐车可安全储存、处理并现场烹煮生鲜食材；在此之前，使用生鲜食材烹饪的摊贩因没有获批车型而无法取得卫生许可。所有菜单与食品操作须经县公共卫生局批准。申领新型餐车的摊贩还可申请一笔小额补助，用于许可证与运营开支；县属非建制地区获配水果、保温、冷藏、烧烤等其他车型的摊贩，可接受最高5,000美元补助的资格审核，补助可用于摊贩登记证、流动食品经营卫生许可、中央厨房场地与设备等费用。销售非食品商品的摊贩则可申请最高500美元补助。
申请人须为在县属非建制地区经营满12个月的现有人行道摊贩，年满18岁、居住在洛杉矶县、为摊位唯一业主且家庭年总收入不超过75,000美元，每户限领一辆。县政府与非营利组织Inclusive Action for the City合作，为申请人提供一对一协助、食品处理培训及流动食品经营许可75%的费用补贴。申请额满即止，可通过县经济发展机会部网站提交。
L.A. County Opens Applications for Expanded Sidewalk Vending Cart Program With 30 New Raw-to-Cooked Carts
Applications opened Friday, October 16, for an expanded Los Angeles County sidewalk vending cart program, the county Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) announced. Thirty additional vendors will have access to new raw-to-cooked food carts, bringing the program's total to 341 carts for permitted vendors across Los Angeles County and the City of Los Angeles.
The new carts are designed to safely store, handle and cook raw ingredients on site; until now, vendors who cook from raw ingredients could not obtain a health permit because no approved cart existed for them, officials said. Carts are provided at no cost to qualified vendors, and all menus and food operations must be approved by the county Department of Public Health. Vendors awarded other cart models in unincorporated areas will also be screened for grants of up to $5,000 toward permitting and operating costs, while merchandise vendors may receive up to $500.
Applicants must be current sidewalk vendors in unincorporated Los Angeles County who have operated for at least 12 months, are 18 or older, live in the county, are sole owners of their businesses and have a gross household income of $75,000 or less, with one cart per household. Applications remain open while supplies last.
