Start Date: August 2025
Funding: Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG)
Project Budget: $50,682
Principal Investigator(s): Dr. Anne Goodchild
Partner(s): Cambridge Systematics (lead), CR Associates, Fehr & Peers, Steer, Tranzito
Summary:
The Urban Freight Lab (consultant) will support Cambridge Systematics to develop the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games Freight Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Plan & Pilot Project Demonstration. This effort will be focused on testing operational freight strategies that improve efficiencies with the goal of implementing them to proactively account for disruptions to freight operations, namely logistics needs supporting the events themselves, all the while maintaining supply chain fluidity across SCAG’s six-county region. While this effort is geared towards a major...
