Final White Paper (April 2022 – March 2023)
Corporate Publisher:

Pacific Southwest Region University Transportation Center (UTC)
Abstract:

This white paper presents the synthesis of the literature on the use of cargo bikes for urban goods movement with a particular focus on four barrier and opportunity domains: physical and spatial; economic; political and legal; and social and cultural. It also includes research particularly relevant to California cities, although many of the studies reported were conducted outside California because we found a lack of evidence within California. The barriers to shifting from trucks and vans to cargo bikes for a variety of good movements remain tall in California. They include, among many, a need for a significant shift in the delivery landscape that requires collaboration across different organizations, and support from the local and state level that includes the development of urban consolidation hubs, investment in bike infrastructure, and strict restrictions on larger delivery vehicles. In addition, it may also require initial incentives to freight operators to offset the costs of shifting to cargo bike logistics. Although the barriers are large, the need is paramount, given the rise in e-commerce and local goods movement. Motivated by this need, and with targeted efforts to overcome these barriers, synergistic benefits are possible including a safer and more bike-friendly road network supportive of both personal active transportation and cargo-bike goods movement. These outcomes will help achieve wide-ranging goals in transportation planning, including GHG reduction, improvements to public health through physical activity, and emission reductions, among others.
