Transferability of urbangoods management Gabriela Barrera, Polis
Several measures, different approaches Information on measures to manage urban freight is available but: • Taken by different stakeholders • At different levels and contexts • At different time scales • And with different assessment methodologies How to know if a measure taken in one city/region can be implemented in another one?
European projects on transferability ‘Cleaner and Better Transport in Cities’ • Support cities to introduce ambitious transport measures and policies • Achieve significant shift in the modal split • Encourage innovative technology and policy-based strategies • Implement and evaluate measures • CIVITAS I (2002-2009) • CIVITAS II (2005-2009) • CIVITAS PLUS (2008-2013) • Urban Freight Logistics as one of the mobility solutions • Transferability methodology developed
European projects on transferability • TURBLOG (2009-2011) funded under FP7 • Address Urban Logistics from a worldwide perspective aiming to extend, expand and transfer the existing knowledge • Transferability=ability to adopt in a given city successful measures previously adopted elsewhere, achieving comparable results • Case studies in Brazil and Peru and Portugal • Further develop the transferability methodology of CIVITAS
Ten step approach for transferability • Diagnostic of the problems Structured analysis, assess need to take actions • Characterisation of the city • At different levels: geographical, structural, demographical… • Also consider Institutional variables • Analysis of the city context and implications of problems identified • City profile • Look around for similar contexts • Scope should not be limited to i.e. geographical or size conditions • 5.Selecting examples of source urban contexts • Definition of successful implementation for transferability • Viability of proposed measure, use indicators which allow comparison
Ten step approach for transferability • 6. Identify measures with potential for transferring • Define if further evaluation is required (cost-effectiviness in new setting) • Community acceptance • 7. Packaging & Dimensioning the measures for transferring • Consider relationship between different measures and scale • 8. Ex-ante assessment of measures to transfer • Goals selected measures should meet • Future scenarios: implementation or not • 9. Identify need for adjustment • 10. Implement measures and steer results • Monitoring: data, methods for quantification, performance indicators • Links with evaluation activities: ex-ante, mid-term and ex post 20 December 2019 6
European projects on transferability SUGAR (2008-2012) funded under INTERREG IVC • Support the set up, improvement, tuning of local and regional city logistics policies • Training to policy makers • Surveying, analysing, exchanging, sharing and transferring of policy experience, knowledge and good practices • Public authorities as the main beneficiaries • Good Practice Sites: Emilia Romagna Region, Transport for London, City of Paris and Barcelona City Council • Transfer Sites: Palma de Mallorca City Council, Region of Crete, City of Poznan, Municipality of Vratsa, Municipality of Celje, City of Usti nad Labem, City of Prague
Transfer apporach • Sites mapping: identify needs and objectives of cities for selection of best practices • Best practices analysis: 44 city logistics solutions • Action Plans • SWOT on the good practices identified • Definition of strategic policy goals • Action plan by each site as roadmap for future measures • Training: • Good Practice Round Table • Train the Trainer Sessions • Joint Planning Exercises: SWOT/Vision and strategy • Site Strategy Workshop:each site to discuss measures with stakeholders • Site Visits
Best practices Analysis Seletion criteria of ‘best’ practices: • Initiated or supported by a public administration • Currently operating or been in operation for a long time • Sustainable and profitable business model (private, public or public-private partnership) • Do not depend upon financial sources that are time-limited • Traffic, economic and environmental impacts are beneficial and match sustainability criteria • Evaluated with relatively robust data 20 December 2019 9
Handbook for Authorities • Explain 44 selected solutions • Worked out by many experts • Edited by L. Dablanc IFSTTAR • Some of the solutions explained during SUGAR sessions • Five categories of Best Practices • Where local governments have been active • Have led to successful policies: impact on the city’s economy and/or its environment, at a reasonable cost for the city, and that have become permanent or have lasted a significant amount of time 20 December 2019 10
Categories of Best practices • Regulation on traffic and parking, access restriction, environmental standards and permits • Simple and cheap • Large impacts on the city if properly enforced • New concepts: congestion charging, LEZ, night delivery… • New standards use: Euro standards • New enforcement measures: i.e. ITS • Planning, land use, building code • Integrating freight into policies/ urban and/or transport planning and building codes • Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) • Not yet widely use for freight management but existing cases have proved to be very efficient • Good development potential as they become mor precise and less costly • Enforcement, data collection real time information 20 December 2019 11
Categories of Best practices 4. Consultation processes and labelling schemes • Awareness among freight transport companies, provide forums for discussion • Must be well enforced 5. Consolidation schemes and measures targeting urban supply chains • Some experiments have been successful: specialized cc, municipalities provide low cost logistic space, retailers are actively associated • Many experiments failed because of costs 20 December 2019 12
Future European projects: BESTFACT Best Practice Factory for Freight Transport • Builds on BESTUFS: identify, describe and disseminate BP, success criteria and bottlenecks in City Logistics. Framework to introduce single/mix measures • Aims BESTFACT: • Develop, disseminate and enhance utilisation of BP • Establishment of a robust, replicable methodology for collecting and processing BP • Focus on three interrelated areas: • Urban Freight • Green Logistics and Co-modality • eFreight 20 December 2019 13
Lessons learned • Take into account the current situation and its potential for evolution: Existing policies (coordination), problems, supply chain features • Quantitative and qualitative data is fundamental, evaluation Ex-ante, mid-term and post analysis • Measures to be transferred need to be sustainable, with a sound business model • Clear roles for all interested stakeholders, cooperation and political commitment • Several solutions are available, not necessarily a single ‘optimal’ one! 20 December 2019 14
