FROM THE REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN
Action 2.1.5: Work with industry to pilot innovative initiatives.
Piloting new technologies and strategies can provide opportunities to enhance goods movement and reduce GHG emissions while minimizing risk and gathering feedback to inform more definitive action. Example initiatives could include alternative fuel pilots for heavy trucks, use of technology to make the vehicle inspection process more efficient, and small scale vehicles or e-cargo bikes for last-mile deliveries in congested areas.
