Abstract:New York City roads and highways leading to the City are congested, in part, due to trucks delivering food products. Some of the deliveries are to the Hunts Point Terminal Market (HPTM) located at the Hunts Point Peninsula. HPTM is the largest fresh food distribution center in the United States. It is the source of 60%1 of food distribution in the New York Metropolitan Area. These trucks increase traffic congestion, pollution, and wear and tear of the roads. In turn, this increases the cost of living in the City, commute time, medical problems and costs, and reduced productivity to name a few negative impacts.
