1 Delivering the Goods in the New Mobility Landscape Technologies, services, systems, partnerships & policies supporting next generation sustainable goods movement in an urbanizing world Susan Zielinski, Managing Director, SMART at the University of Michigan February 17.

2 BACKGROUND LINKS Moving Goods in the New Economy: A Primer for Urban Decision Makers: t1/02-1-moving%20goods%20in%20the%20new%20economy- A%20Primer%20for%20Urban%20Decision%20Makers%20.pdf Integration Technologies for Sustainable Urban Goods Movement: oodsmove%20copy.pdf

3 NEW MOBILITY moving people moving goods moving less in ways that meet current & emerging needs: cleaner, greener, safer, healthier, more equitable, more connected, more lucrative, economically vital, and bring improved quality of life.

4 SOME GOODS BASICS Growing & changing fast (& competitive - small margins, labor challenges ) Global economic importance Under the radar: Public / Political attention low vs. people movement Relates to: Economy - Ground (+ people) - Regions Environment - Air - Nations Society - Sea - Dense urban cores / towns Quality of Life - Moving Less - Suburbs & exurbs Many moving parts: - modes (more than trucks) - technologies (vehicle, fuel/energy, IT, data ) - services - design & planning & physical space (product, urban & community, system ) - industry sectors - policy & legislation - partnerships - the connectivity between them

5 EMERGING OPPORTUNITIES New technologies: Vehicle Fuel / energy IT / big data / cloud Automation Connectivity Other? New services / Mobility as a Service / Shared Use New business models New physical design / infrastructure Cultural shifts IT, on-demand, fluid, option proliferation, service orientation New connectivity / seamlessness (virtual, physical, economic) New partnerships & Alliances Other?

6 GENERAL APPROACHES: to address emerging needs & opportunities 1. REDUCING NEGATIVE IMPACT (of components) 2. TRIP REDUCTION / REPLACEMENT 3. SUPPLY CHAIN EFFICIENCIES & ENHANCEMENTS (system) 4. OTHER?

7 REDUCING TRIP IMPACTS Alternative fuels Lighter materials Vehicle design / diversity Speed limits Increasing driver skills Alternative delivery times / passenger interface Human powered delivery (walking, cycling) Life cycle analysis & enhancement of goods movement & supply (circular economy, cradle to grave etc) Measuring & monitoring Other?

8 TRIP REDUCTION / REPLACEMENT Load optimization Route optimization Connectivity / seamlessness / multi-modality Automation Design solutions - Product design - Urban design Local Production & distribution / urban agriculture Tele-everything (work, shop, education, health etc) Other?

9 SUPPLY CHAIN EFFICIENCIES Integrating systems / inter-modal applications (all modes) Physical consolidation (freight campuses) Advanced telecommunications / ITS (Enhance, connect, inform) Last mile / invisible solutions Innovative services (building deliveries) Goods-supportive land use / development Local production & Distribution Automation Efficient border crossings Freight Stakeholder Partnerships (across sectors & geographies) Integrated policies Innovative marketing Other?

10 BARRIERS Competitiveness Lack of awareness / understanding Lack of information / information flow Fragmentation (players, policy, innovation) Inertia / pressure (leads to lone horse) Funding (less popular politically) Skills / knowledge gaps / labour challenges Pace of change Culture

11 DRIVERS Economic (public / private, make / save $) Competition / buyer demand Emerging needs (economic, environmental, social / safety / QoL) Governance / overall vision, policies to match Commitment, leadership, profile

12 POLICY APPROACHES Policies & legislation (all levels) Transport, land use & planning, infrastructure, energy, communications & telecommunications, financial, economic, health, cyber security, etc. Financial carrots & sticks Cross-Sectoral co-ordination / Partnerships Education & Training

13 ROLES / ACTIONS Bring together key players (public & private) Raise profile of urban / regional goods movement Co-ordinated action through: joint priority projects policies (for efficiency, co-ordination, sustainability) relevant research (data, trends, case studies) communications (internal & external) Liase with regional freight forums and initiatives, local, national, international (joint learning, action)
