Decarbonizing urban goods movement: What’s working and where do we go from here?


As greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector continue to rise, cities worldwide are increasingly working to decarbonize their local freight and goods movement systems. Strategies to test and scale projects and policies range from e-cargo bikes and electric trucks to curb digitization, urban consolidation centers, zero-emission delivery zones, and more. With insights from both public- and private-sector perspectives, this panel explores lessons learned from both US and EU examples. Join us for a real-world discussion on the opportunities and challenges of this work, including governance, public policy, and transportation impacts.
