TRB Straight to Recording for All: Evidence-Based Methods for Cities to Actively Manage the Final 50 Feet of the Urban Goods System to Gain Productivity

TRB released a series of recordings in June 2019 that explores how cities may strategically manage the final 50 feet of the urban goods delivery system. After a brief introduction, the presenters will identify key findings on commercial vehicles loading and unloading at curbs and alleys in dense urban areas. They will also discuss research outcomes for the final 50 feet and how this research is being used to inform new developments. 

This series was organized by the TRB Standing Committee on Urban Freight Transportation. The videos are available on-demand at no cost. The slides are also available.
