The Transportation Research Board’s Urban Freight Transportation Committee (AT025) is concerned with the study and research of urban freight transportation topics and issues, including urban transportation system demand and economic relationships, right-of-way issues, pick-up and delivery needs, terminal transportation needs, institutional challenges, and new technology, with an emphasis on providing support to practitioners.
I hope you are staying safe and healthy wherever you may be!

Help us to continue celebrating the TRB Centennial! In celebration of the TRB Centennial, the Urban Freight Transportation Committee developed a Centennial Paper entitled Urban Freight Transportation Committee Centennial Paper: Embracing the Future with Insights from the Past. As the name implies, the paper provides historical context on urban freight transportation, reflects on current challenges, offers glimpses of the future and provides a history of our committee. If you are looking for an interesting read and primer on the topic of urban freight transportation, I encourage you to read and enjoy it!
