New Technical Report: Carrier Perspectives on Delivery Operations and Zero-Emission Zones in Downtown Portland
November 12, 2024 //
The Urban Freight Lab has completed a series of interviews with carriers to explore how a zero-emission delivery zone (ZEDZ) in downtown Portland could impact their operations. This work is part of the Portland Bureau of Transportation’s Strengthening Mobility and Revolutionizing Transportation (SMART) project, funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation. We gathered valuable insights on fleet composition, parking behaviors, and delivery practices — all essential to understanding the challenges and opportunities of urban freight systems.
Our findings are now available in the technical report “Carrier Perspectives on Delivery Operations and Zero-Emission Zones in Downtown Portland“.
