This paper investigates, through a simulation approach, how novel alternative last-mile solutions (LMS) can harmonise network efficiency with environmental sustainability in a Washington D.C. urban setting. The ability of public buses to scale delivery services with demand was fundamental to reducing Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and harmful air pollutants. Extending the network by increasing the number of delivery points, this paper employed a K-means clustering algorithm to determine optimal locations of Urban Consolidation Centres (UCCs). Utilising UCCs enabled further environmental and efficiency gains to be realised through consolidation and the ability to deliver "very last mile" through E-cargo bikes.
