October 3, 2024 — The Urban Freight Lab has kicked off of a new research project, Balancing Freight and Goods Delivery Needs in Designing Complete Streets. Funded by the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) of the Transportation Research Board (TRB), this work will develop national guidelines to help cities design and build Complete Streets policies that integrate freight operations.

This project aims to improve safety and accessibility for all users — pedestrians, cyclists, transit riders, motorists, and freight vehicles — while supporting cities in addressing the increasing complexities of ecommerce, curbside delivery, and autonomous technologies, contributing to the creation of more resilient and livable urban environments.
