The University Transportation Research Center (UTRC) Publishes the Final Report: "Evaluation of the Cooperative Multi-Carrier Delivery Initiatives"

UTRC has released a final report for the research titled: "Evaluation of the Cooperative Mulit-Carrier Delivery Initiatives", funded by the Research and Innovative Technology Administration/USDOT (RITA). The principal investigators were Dr. Xiaokun (Cara) Wang, an assistant professor of Civil Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Dr. Allison Conway, an assistant professor of Civil Engineering at The City College of New York and Dr. Camille Kamga, an assistant professor of Civil Engineering at The City College of New York.

In the last several years there has been a surge of interest in fostering more sustainable logistical operations in urban areas. Under the umbrella of the generic term City Logistics, these initiatives try to take advantage of the coordinating power of a municipal government to convince urban delivery companies to participate in collaborative schemes that by reducing truck trips, increasing the utilization of trucks, or both, may reduce the negative externalities associated with urban truck traffic.

The full report is available for a free download at the UTRC website: http://www.utrc2.org/publications/final-cooperative-multi-carrier-delivery
