The future is urban

URBAN FREIGHT CHALLENGES

New York City is enjoying record

population, jobs, and tourism

Increased demand for goods and

services

Freight Access & Livability

PARADOX: THE GOOD, BAD & THE UGLY

6

When livability is prioritized, freight

runs the risk of being considered an afterthought or may be ignored

Freight is linked to the economic

prosperity and vibrancy of a region

It is crucial to our communities and

should not be overlooked

Security of “Vehicle”
Goal: Launch zero-emission pedal assist cargo cycles for

last mile freight deliveries with industry partners

Steps Taken: Summer 2018 - Clarification of pedal assist
vs. throttle assist bicycles.
Next Steps:
Need to provide additional clarification on cargo

bicycles,

Work with industry partners for 2019 implementation

OVERNIGHT TRUCK PARKING

20 Issues:

ELD Mandate Impacts
Long Term Parking primarily

concentrated in Industrial Business Zones

Lack of Information: Capacity &

Location of Private Lots

Limited options for vacant land

Opportunities:

Work with city agencies to identify

solutions to mitigate overnight truck parking in residential areas

Public-Private Partnerships key
Establish Truck Parking Information

Management System

ADDITIONAL STRATEGIES

Improve Commercial Vehicle Access to the Curb by providing

more loading opportunities

Work with the private sector to facilitate off-street

consolidation or off-hour delivery/storage facility

Evaluate opportunities to work with buildings and property
wners develop Delivery & Service plans
Explore use of Shared Use Lockers
Promote voluntary vendor procurement consolidation
