BACKGROUND
| NCA is working with PBOT to co-facilitate focus groups regarding their pilot initiative for a zero emissions delivery zone downtown. Last spring, PBOT was awarded almost $2 Million from USDOT to achieve three main objectives: (1) pilot a zero-emission delivery zone (2) test digital infrastructure tools to understand how people use and different types of vehicles are used in commercial loading zones and city streets (3) increase micro-delivery hub operations, like small warehouses that store goods to create easier delivery in smaller service areas, and expand the use of e-cargo trikes as last-mile delivery solutions. We have used the recent PBOT analysis related to Warehousing and Transportation to determine that North Portland and East Portland Neighborhoods have a higher than average concentration of existing distribution centers and warehouses. |
