16. Abstract

This compendium is comprised of 48 brief summaries of urban freight initiatives that include research projects, plans, pilot demonstrations, and other efforts. These initiatives were presented at roundtable discussions that were part of the 2018 and 2019 Annual Meetings of the Transportation Research Board (TRB). These annual roundtables are sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in cooperation with the European Commission (EC). Both events attracted approximately 50 freight practitioners from across the globe. Freight practitioners may consider incorporating the strategies documented in this compendium as part of planning, programming, and project delivery activities to improve freight mobility and goods movement in urban areas.
