Abstract Freight transportation is critical to metropolitan regions' economic competitiveness and long-term viability. However, it is one of the activities that produce the most negative externalities, including greenhouse gas emissions. The study of the relationship between freight transportation, land use, and demand management is critical for promoting enlightened policies that increase the social benefits of supply chains while avoiding their undesirable effects, such as climate change. Nonetheless, the tools available to public planners for incorporating freight transportation into their analyses are limited. In this context, this paper aims to highlight the impact that freight demand management strategies and freight-efficient land uses can have on increasing urban freight accessibility. In this study, the authors suggest a freight accessibility framework based on two measures of accessibility (an isochrone-based model and a gravity-based model) to analyze the spatiotemporal variation of freight accessibility in the New York City metropolitan statistical area for four sectors—retail trade, accommodation and food services, transportation and warehousing, and e-commerce. The results indicate that accessibility measures provide valuable insights towards policymaking, particularly to policies that target land use (e.g., location of warehouses), and policies that aim to shift the traffic of freight vehicles to periods with less traffic congestion.
