Urban freight and road safety: Trends and innovative strategies

The key objectives of this project includes:

1. Using data from US and/or NC, CA, and TN surveillance systems to evaluate the impacts of urban freight on road safety through detailed spatial and longitudinal analyses.
2. Reviewing novel last-mile delivery options and identifying the advantages and disadvantages of these options in improving road safety.

To accomplish these objectives, we will use input from state DOTs and community partners to review research objectives and develop outreach materials including policy briefs and webinars. We aim to develop partnerships with state DOTs and local communities around urban freight road safety.
