A series of program plans and projects directed towards resolving the problems of transporting commodities within urban areas is assessed. Each set is related to one of five general problems and is defined in terms of the effects upon the shipper, the carriers, consignees, and the general public. The five categories of problems are excessive costs, traffic congestion, pollution, land use development, and institutional arrangements. They are measured in terms of cost reductions, increases in profits, relief of congestion, reduction of pollution, and effective integration in the process of urban development.
