New UFL Project Integrating Freight in Complete Streets Guidelines

The Urban Freight Lab has launched 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 implement Complete Streets policies that effectively integrate freight operations.

This project aims to improve safety and accessibility for all users — pedestrians, cyclists, transit riders, motorists, and freight vehicles — while assisting cities in managing the growing challenges of ecommerce, curbside delivery, and autonomous technologies. The goal is to contribute more resilient, efficient, and livable urban environments.
