• Abstract:
  This primer is designed to serve as a resource for freight stakeholders seeking to improve urban freight management in their regions. Urban freight management refers to planning, programming, and other efforts to improve freight mobility in urban areas or to minimize its impacts on others. Operations, logistics, and technology strategies represent a set of practices that urban freight managers can apply to the movement of goods and the quality of life of urban residents. This primer documents 17 noteworthy practices to improve urban freight management that have been implemented successfully in both the United States and abroad. The primer also identifies opportunities for freight practitioners to plan for and fund the implementation of freight mobility strategies.
