Abstract:Commerce and quality of life in Texas depend on the daily delivery of millions of tons of goods shipped efficiently and affordably over Texas’ multimodal freight transportation system. Continued growth of business to consumer e-commerce has increased demand for package shipping services, and rural areas face a particular challenge in finding efficient last-mile delivery of goods (from freight drop to final destination). The network of rural transit agencies and intercity bus carriers may effectively bridge the last-mile gap in package shipping from the freight drop point to the final destination by providing last-mile package delivery services in exchange for a service fee.
