How far are people willing to travel for in-store shopping — and what factors influence those decisions? . New study from @UrbanFreightLab finds local retail boosts short walking trips, reduces car use and supports #sustainability: .

City streets weren't designed for modern #freight, but shippers must navigate congestion,#curbspace, and competing demands, without control over the infrastructure they rely on. Our founding director Anne Goodchild explains. #lastmile #logistics.

Excited for @StreetLightData Summit and our Anne Goodchild's keynote on pressing questions in #transportation, including: .-How does #freight affect communities?.-Who bears the cost of #truck traffic?.-How can we reduce delivery impacts on livability?.

The last several decades have fundamentally reshaped freight. As founding director of the Urban Freight Lab, Anne Goodchild has seen the explosion of freight into residential areas and the importance of the #Final50Feet” of freight movements.

Our founding director Anne Goodchild delivered the keynote address at @UMNCTS Transportation Research Conference, sharing insights from her two-decade career leading urban freight research.

Our Travis Fried spoke at @UMNCTS Transportation Research Conference on how #ecommerce #traffic affects low-income communities, raising concerns about air quality, health, & safety, & highlighting more equitable, sustainable, and resilient #urbanplanning.

We are thrilled to partner with @SharedUseCenter and @teamcityfi to develop policy for light urban vehicles to help cities adopt clean #transportation solutions and expand #zeroemissions #infrastructure. More: #mobility #emobility #cargobikes #NEVs.

We are pleased to welcome Arsalan Esmaili to our team! He is a @uw_cee Ph.D. student, a teaching assistant for @UWSupplyChain, & joins us as a research assistant. His #research focuses on #transportation #equity, #transit #data, & #AI for #traffic #safety.

Meet Curb Enthusiasm, a podcast from @NYC_DOT on big topics shaping #transportation and urban planning, both nationally and globally. In the latest episode, our friends Diniece Mendes and Donald Shoup talk about land economics, public finance, and parking:

We launched our new research project, Balancing Freight and Goods Delivery Needs in Designing Complete Streets. Funded by @NASEMTRB NCHRP, this project will develop national guidelines to help cities design and build #CompleteStreets integrating #freight.

We're excited to announce a new @NSF project to address food insecurity with a decentralized network of community-run micro-pantries. We'll implement sensors to track inventory, expiration, and demand and supply patterns, aiming to optimize distribution.

New tech report! We've completed a series of interviews with carriers to explore how a #zeroemission #delivery zone in Portland could impact their #operations, as part of @PBOTinfo's #SMART research project: #urbanfreight #smartgrant #urbanlogistics #zedz

Big thanks to @Michelin for hosting our members-only quarterly meeting at their HQ in Greenville, SC. We had a thrilling visit to Laurens Proving Grounds, where we got hands-on with the high-speed test track. Kudos to the entire (pun intended) team for an insightful experience.

A sincere thank you to @USDOT's Allison Dane Camden & Xochitl Castaneda for your visit to @UW. Such a pleasure to discuss our research and the future of #multimodal #freight in such esteemed company. We look forward to continued #collaboration and welcome you back anytime!
