The study examines problems encountered in urban goods movement. The report is divided into 7 sections. Section I presents a discussion of urban goods related transportation as compared to the nation's total transportation. Section II provides estimates, of the characteristics and amounts of transportation currently used to move goods in our major cities. Section III presents estimates of the impact of this transportation on cities in terms of cost, congestion, energy consumption, air pollution, noise pollution and land use. Section IV focuses on each of these impacts as viewed by several identifiable interest groups in the community: commuters, consumers, goods haulers, shippers/receivers, etc. Section V presents an attempt to isolate fundamental causes of urban goods movement related problems and Section VI discusses nearly 100 possible solutions to them. Section VII presents several recommendations for further action.
