The next workshop will be held in Oslo, Norway in September 2014, with more details coming soon.
Welcome
The Innovation in Urban Freight workshop was
hosted by the Puget
Sound Regional Council and the University of Washington on February 6,7
2012. The purpose of the workshop is to learn of
urban goods movement practices around the world and to explore
their application to metropolitan regions domestically and
internationally. We invited partnerships of cities,
universities (or
research organizations), and/or private sector entities from around the
world to submit joint papers describing their goods movement
challenges, policy and technology applications, and outcomes.
The
slides of the workshop presentations are available here.
We thank the following institutions
