Abstract:

Off-peak delivery (OPD) is a simple concept, but it can be challenging to implement because the benefits and costs are not always evenly distributed. Carries generally like the idea because it can save them time and money, but receiving businesses often resist it because it can add costs. Communities will benefit from lessened congestion but may have concerns about nighttime noise. Sometimes special incentives are needed for businesses to participate. An OPD program needs to be designed in a manner that balances the benefits and costs to make it practical for carriers, receivers, shippers, customers and the community.

With that in mind, the Supply Chain Innovation Network of Chicago (SINC) and the Urban Transportation Center (UTC) at the University of Illinois - Chicago are partnering to design a pilot program to incentivize off-peak deliveries in the Chicago area.
